Abstract

Beyond Resilience in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences: Research on Critical Terms examines the stakes of public discourse on how people respond to crisis. This interdisciplinary volume examines multilingual critical alternatives to the all-pervasive language of “resilience” and “crisis”. Drawing together contributions from the arts,humanities and social sciences, this volume starts from the untranslatability of “resilience” across cultures and gathers case studies, which help us expand our critical terminology. The volume explores how critical vocabulary for contemporary scholarship on crisis must move beyond five major limitations: the imperative to bounce back quickly, the neglect of collective, land-based knowledge, the insistence on hyper-individualism, and the depoliticized reduction of subjects living with crisis to compliance and victimhood. It does so from a range of disciplinary perspectives, covering art, literature, critical geography, philosophy, postcolonial studies, and psychoanalysis.
