Through a range of ethnographic case studies focusing on the
Portuguese recovery after the economic crisis, this book begins a
conversation about the experience of recuperation and repair.
Located in the cracks and gaps between the state and society,
recuperation appears as a social and infrastructural answer linked
to reciprocity, critical urbanity, generational interweaving,
alternate ordering and reconnection of different bodies and
histories. With chapters looking at public art in Lisbon and
recuperative modes of action, this collection takes a thorough look
at a society in crisis and shows how the people of the community
create micro-politics of resistance. Ultimately, Politics of
Recuperation reflects on the meaning of personal and collective
resilience in Europe today, as well as on the limits and
interstices of contemporary politics.
