cze	Editorial: Resounding the Powerless	Václav Havel’s “The Power of the Powerless” (“Moc bezmocných”) was writ-ten in 1978.1 Initially, the text was intended for a Polish/Czechoslovakian vol-ume on freedom and power in which all participants would have access to, and comment on, Havel’s text. The project didn’t reach its conclusion, as only the Czechoslovakian side of the collaboration managed to complete its task.2The essay was eventually published as a samizdat, along with nine written responses, shortly after Havel’s arrest in 1979. “The Power of the Powerless” quickly took on a status of being one of those text that is necessary to read for anyone interested in power relations in contemporary society. But what is its value today?	Václav Havel; power of the powerless
