The relations between domination and subordination have a cultural context as well as a political one. This cultural context, as much as it contains the consent-generating mechanisms of power, can also provide the subordinated with tools for counter-action and enable them to develop micro-politics. Subaltern groups have the power to erode domination by producing these micro-politics on historically familiar cultural grounds and in the ordinary spaces of everyday life. Humor, laughter, language games, irony and symbolic reversals are some of these micro-political tools. Therefore, subalterns are able to create various tactics, symbols, forms of violation and resistance that are different from conventional political tools to disrupt the domination-subordination relationship. These micro-politics are addressed through Michel De Certeau's tactics, James C. Scott's speech under domination and Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of carnival. These concepts refer to the cultural actions, ways of thinking and political language that subalterns develop against the mechanisms of domination. In this form of action, culture and collective rituals provide the symbolic means of violation, while the body offers a surface of resistance that renders domination fragile. This form of action has an implicit power to erode the domination from the inside, within the domain of the dominator, and can be defined as the performance of cultural resistance as a body politics.
