- To subordinate again; to make once again subordinate.
- 2007, Sean Brayton, “MTV's Jackass: Transgression, Abjection and the Economy of White Masculinity”, in Journal of Gender Studies, volume 16, page 60:
- Although representations of abject white masculinity in Jackass are potentially valid critiques of working-class subjugation, they may also resubordinate the historically marginalized through erasure. In other words, the victimized white male is depicted in a way that subsumes the variegated histories of racial, gender, and sexual ‘minorities’.
