Conceptual multiplicity or ontological politics?
- Abstract:
- Simon and Randalls’ (forthcoming) piece does an excellent job of highlighting how resilience is divergently articulated across multiple sites, however the paper is characterised by an oscillation between an examination of contrasting discourses of resilience (reflected in the ways it is defined and conceptualised) and an attention to specific empirical incidents of its enactment (offering a basis for ontological politics). I argue this limits the analysis in terms of failures to engage with: (i) the materiality of literary representation; (ii) the specificity of tactics for imagining (as opposed to intervening in) ontological futures; and (iii) the more-than-human contingencies of resilience interventions.
