This book explores the concept of 'resilience' in the context of
militaries and militarization. Focusing on the U.S., Britain,
Canada, Australia, and continental Europe, it argues that,
post-9/11, there has been a shift away from 'trauma' and towards
'resilience' in framing and understanding human responses to
calamitous events. The contributors to this volume show how
resilience-speech has been militarized, and deeply entrenched in
imagined communities. As the concept travels, it is applied in
diverse and often contradictory ways to a vast array of
experiences, contexts, and scientific fields and disciplines. By
embracing diverse methodologies and perspectives, this book
reflects on how resilience has been weaponized and employed in
highly gendered ways, and how it is central to neoliberal
governance in the twenty-first century. While critical of the use
of resilience, the chapters also reflect on more positive ways for
humans to respond to unforeseen challenges.
