The term recalcitrance (lat. Renitent : insubordinate, unruly) means rebellion, stubbornness, unwillingness to compromise, disobedience, stubbornness, stubbornness.

In general, the term reluctance describes a social behavior of an individual or group.

Terminology

In its simplest application, “being unruly” means first of all to resist pressure - this can be justified or unjustified. Renitenz also describes the procedure of permanently positioning oneself in opposition to a prevailing opinion / point of view (“whatever it is, I am against it!”). Finally, in common parlance, the concept of restlessness is used to classify behavior that denies law and order.

For example, the term is used in pedagogy to describe the activity of a child or young person as illegal; H. non-compliant, non-compliant or absurd to describe. Far better known for this is the colloquial term "stubborn" as a corresponding synonym . Even adults who behave contrary to the rules or are defiant are sometimes referred to as "unruly".

Historically, in the time of serfdom, a behavior of subordinates towards a (secular or ecclesiastical ) authority of the monarchy and feudal nobility was mostly named and marked as false or downgraded. A well-known example is the Renitente Church of the unchanged Augsburg confession in Hesse , which has also become known as the Hessian Renitenz or Renitente Church .

Government and the judiciary

In more recent times the term, in addition to its classic meaning, has also increasingly been used as a political battle term against actors of state power (i.e. executive, legislative and judicial branches). The goal is authorities which do not themselves own opinion on constitutional keeping requirements (want) to designate or to accuse. As an example, the discussion of recalcitrant law enforcement agencies (see. This is this prison as executive) led. Furthermore, the use of the term is also extended to the courts (judiciary) if they believe that they do not (want to) adhere to legal requirements.
