1 Brown and Forst develop this critical discourse-based framework, as they believe that the discursive operations of tolerance encompass a culturally and historically specific set of norms for prescribing and proscribing political identities.

2 In contrast to viewing power as the control of hegemonic groups, Brown and Forst conceive of power as relational and productive. They interpret power as being inextricably defined by sources of resistance, and productive insofar as it constitutes political identities.
