Subject: Re: [-empyre-] "Urban resilience"


I'm really glad to fin some good friends on this discussion!=20

@Aristide Antonas: I find quite interesting the difference you remark
between "resilience" and "resistance" and the opposition between =
positive
and negative connotations. But is not adaptability a kind of "passive
resistance"? In case we understand "resilience" as =93the capacity of a =
system
to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to =
still
retain essentially the same function, structure, identity, and =
feedbacks=94,
maybe we can find common links with the movements like the #15M in =
Spain,
where resistance doesn't include any kind of implicit or physical =
violence.

@Kamen I'm aware about your reservation of the proliferation of the term
"resilience". Just as every concept that starts reaching its =
tipping-point,
it is under the risk to becoming "trendy" and loose its real importance, =
as
has happened before with terms like "sustainability" or "participation". =
But
this fact only reinforces the interest to discuss here the importance of
urban resilience going further and far away of becoming "the new black
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_new_black> ". I completely agree with =
you
that the movements we're witnessing nowadays are truly networked =
phenomenon
and maybe is in the uses of these new technologies that we can find the =
new
basis of resilience.


If we go back to the referenced text of Fran=E7ois Roche and his idea =
that
resilience lies in the recognition of nonlinear systems in nature as a
potential for emergence, we can go on talking about this phenomenon =
(#15M,
#occupyingwallstreet) as examples of
swarm intelligence (or the organic relations mentioned by Ana) and
emergence, in the way that DeLanda

term
"emergence": "the emergent properties of a whole can now be explained as =
an
effect of the causal interactions between its component parts." =
According to
this, the interactions between citizens [net]working together are =
creating a

What do you think?

Hola, Ethel,

I'd turn your question upside-down: "Is resilience the new resistance?"

By now, you must have gathered I have some serious reservation about
the proliferation of the term "resilience". But I think there is a
good reason for this phenomenon. We're all struggling to grasp the
real implications of current social movements and their acts of
resistance. The many, and diverse "occupy" movements appear to be
beyond the reach of the tools and concepts we have been handling
hitherto.

Thus, the attempts to relate the so-called "Arab Spring" to the
Spanish "#15M" movement to the recent upheavals in London tend to fall
short on the ground.

In my opinion, what we are dealing with here is a truly networked
phenomenon: these movements and spaces are first constructed online,
and only then move on to the "bricks-and-mortar" urban space. But this
doesn't mean that this phenomenon is new and unknown.

@Ana Vald=E9s: you should locate and talk to Olaf Westphalen from the
Fine Arts Faculty in Stockholm. He has been researching the notion of
resilience as applied to current social resistance movements quite a
lot, and has some interesting ideas on the subject.

Best,

Kamen
