But yeah, I don't think paradigms that involve a dualistic X v. Y (or X v. not-X) can explain a society very well. Is the society characterized by compliance or resistance (or compliance or noncompliance).... if you try to map everything onto one pole or another, or even if you try to map things onto a gradient in between, you're going to miss a whole lot that comes from understanding things that aren't about that dualism.
