Infrapolitics refers to the subtle, often hidden forms of resistance practiced by subordinate groups in everyday life. These acts are not overtly political but challenge authority in indirect ways. Examples include working slowly, spreading rumors, or subtly ignoring rules. Infrapolitics is especially relevant in contexts where open protest or organized opposition is too risky or impossible, offering insight into how people resist domination without direct confrontation.
