dc.description.abstract | I first encountered Walker’s work on resilience when I was a novice researcher in human geography, coming to terms with our failure to mitigate climate change in a timely enough way, and needing something other than mitigation or adaptation to think with. A little over a decade later, I approached Walker’s new book with some hesitation. I have grown worried that resilience places too much importance on strength or robustness, and is insufficiently attentive to what is valuable but intrinsically vulnerable – beings, relations, systems, that cannot be made resilient, but are nonetheless worthy of existence. I also loathe how the term can deflect attention away from the causes of ecological and social harm, busying us with the ever-intensifying task of coping with increasing onslaughts, instead of dismantling the structures causing them. | |
