Hola, Ethel,
I'd turn your question upside-down: Is resilience the new resistance?
By now, you must have gathered I have some serious reservation about
the proliferation of the term resilience. But I think there is a
good reason for this phenomenon. We're all struggling to grasp the
real
I'm really glad to fin some good friends on this discussion!
@Aristide Antonas: I find quite interesting the difference you remark
between resilience and resistance and the opposition between positive
and negative connotations. But is not adaptability a kind of passive
resistance? In case we

I see the point following Ethel's proposal and discussing the differences
between resilience and resistance. I remember attending a meeting in Prag,
where we met the president Vaclav Haverl (my good friend Alicia Migdal was

Let me tell about Nablus, one of the oldest cities in the world, with one
of the oldest souks in the world, protected by the Unesco as one of the
world's heritage.
The Israel army had the city besieged almost one year with curfews every

I have to agree with Ana here.
Resistance and resilience are different things, and cannot be
collapsed onto one another or interchanged.
Still, we need to assess in what way they are different if we want
this to be a productive discussion.
On the one hand, Ana's examples of non-conformist
I find the example of Nablus very interesting, Ana.
It is also representative of tactics to make do that citizens come
up with when faced with severe repression, or, in this case, a
full-blown military siege.
But I am also wondering about the cultural specificity of how citizens

Yes empyre is a nice living room, Ethel, we may continue here an older

@Ethel Baraona Pohl:
To me there is a strategic problem in the distinction between resistance and
resilience that drives us back to the difference between the society of a
recent past and the social landscape

Dear Ethel and others,
Thanks for starting up an interesting debate. I think that the two concepts may

Resilience, at least in the context of the wellbeing of social wholes of
various kinds, assemblages if you like,
Dear Leo, as someone been living in Stockholm since 1978 and relocating to

Apologies for posting here (have a bad history w/ Empyre)- a few thoughts

Asking if resilence is the new resistance is already buying into corporate

I also wonder about
