My dissertation uses literature, theory and aesthetics to explore the possibilities for forms of opaque resistance that remain intersectional. It will be in 4 sections; theory (using Spivak, Villiars, Sarah Ahmed + some Deleuze and Guattari- the research for this section is complete and I can send this bit over), then opacity as an aesthetic form of resistance (looking at artworks showing opacity + limits of transparency and literature with opaque descriptions of characters), then opacity in protest (brief look at previous opaque resistance like black block, Zapatistas,pussy riot, anonymous, etc and how successful/or otherwise they have been). Last section is opacity as online resistance and looks at trolling from the alt-right +intersections with privilege that allow this to continue and what a liberal/left wing trolling would look like (beyond the anonymous movement).
