Creativity and Domestic Care as Civilian Resistance in Occupied Europe, 1939-1945

Cel

Resistance during the Second World War is one of history’s powerful symbols of political dissent. Yet our historiographical understanding of it remains partial. Scholarship emphasizes organized and visible resistance such as armed attacks and sabotage, while neglecting the unarmed, often improvisational acts through which civilians also defied occupation: a slogan scrawled on a wall, a song whistled in the street, a meal prepared for a stranger.
EVERYDAY REBELLIONS recovers and connects these neglected practices in the critical but understudied urban contexts of Lviv and Brussels. The project offers three innovations: (1) Conceptually, it integrates insights from political philosophy and resistance studies, highlighting small-scale and informal creative and domestic care-based acts of subversion. These acts were often carried out by groups who lacked the means, experience, or networks necessary for collective action, such as housewives, children, or persecuted groups, and who are underrepresented in traditional historiography. (2) Heuristically, it combines citizen science and digital humanities to collect and connect dispersed traces from artifacts, ego-documents, oral histories, police and propaganda reports, and military court records. (3) Methodologically, it draws on subaltern history, literary analysis, and art history to uncover hidden transcripts in these acts and interpret them not only as potentially disruptive to the Nazi or Soviet occupier but also as constructive in creating alternative forms of meaning and community. This interdisciplinary research strategy will allow a sophisticated analysis of the interconnected practices, actors, networks and evolving meanings of everyday resistance.
EVERYDAY REBELLIONS reassesses who counts as a WW2 resister and what constitutes resistance. It will lay the groundwork for future historical research into one of history’s central questions: why do some people choose to resist oppression, while others do not?
