Reading as Resistance: A Study of the Female Reading Group “Woman in Lit” on Douban From a Micro-political Perspective

Based on micro-political theory, this study investigates how female readers can transform reading behavior into resistance in everyday life.Focusing on the Douban group "Woman in Lit" and drawing on interviews with 20 members, we identify a tripartite resistance strategy: First, establish a reading community on the basis of the awakening of subjectivity consciousness and mutual respect; Second, constantly confront discourse conflicts with other readers, texts, and the publishing industry; Thirdly, transform reading practice into other actions, including recognizing real-world problems, critical reflection and making choices.We contribute to micro-political research by demonstrating the critical importance of materiality and collectivity dynamics in shaping everyday life resistance practices.
