[-empyre-] "Urban resilience"

[Antonas Office]

Hi Ethel,

Nice to meet again here. Resistance is a concept that depends to a power to which it is opposed. It is presented as a negative power defined by this reference. Resilience is proposed as a positive constructive power. It invents its background.

I want to go further and use a quote by François Roche to discuss the urban relationship between the terms "resilience" and "resistance":

If we understand the city as the scenario for resistance, movements like the Arab Spring and Occupying Wall Street can be understood as the urban capacity to respond to perturbation. Going deeper, I want to discuss here which are the similarities and differences between this two concepts.
