Rethinking the time and space of resilience beyond the West: an example of the post-colonial border

Abstract: Critical resilience thinking is excessively fixated on resilience as participating in a neoliberal rationality of governance, while being itself shackled to the restrictive assumptions of crisis-oriented and disaster-based understandings of resilient systems. This paper contributes to the literature on the necessity to expand epistemological approaches to resilience thinking. It suggests that, as a silent disruption, the postcolonial border offers an insight into the overlooked complex materiality of resilienc… Show more

“…Studies of how different cultural groups respond to diagnoses are in their nascent stages. How health and illness is understood in the context of global Indigenous 1 cultures, particularly where these cultures have endured centuries of colonial oppression, has been the subject of inquiry in a range of scholarly areas, including anthropology, medicine, and post‐colonial studies (Wandji 2019). Comprised mostly of deficit focused, Western‐centred assumptions of Indigenous health and illness, these works have been extensively criticised for their lack of regard to Indigenous voices and knowledge systems (Sherwood 2013).…”

“…This thinking meets with idea of Wandji (2019, p. 291): “Expanding resilience to a plurality of experiences, a logical implication of freeing the concept from unsubstantiated assumptions, requires a shift in focus, from resilient subjects and practices to the nature of adversity in resilience thinking. In other words, rather than defining resilience through the extraordinary ways in which certain developed behaviors seek to circumvent a disruption, we should use them as tools.”…”

“…This study of local resilience processes at the securitized Finnish-Swedish border demonstrates that as the state’s power materializes at border zones, people simultaneously maintain and establish unique ways of coping with borders and bordering (cf. Wandji, 2019). This kind of cultural and embodied knowhow and trust relations across borders form an important resilience asset that is more likely present in open border contexts and, of course, cannot be generalized to all borders.…”

“…The potential of bridging resilience theories and border studies has only recently sparked interest, however. Wandji (2019) studies the plurality of disruptions created by African postcolonial borders, relating resilience to mundane practices across political borders. Prokkola (2019a) has analyzed the evolution of regional resilience in different geopolitical border areas from the perspective of cross-border mobility.…”
