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 "e;resilience"e; and "e;crisis"e;. Drawing together contributions from the arts,humanities and social sciences, this volume starts from the untranslatability of "e;resilience"e; 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.Introduction and Chapter 12 of this book are freely available as downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) 4.0 International license.
