Cultural Resilience as the Resilience of a Distinctness. Distinctness from What? for What?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Resilience in Social, Cultural and Political Spheres

Abstract

Most articles in the field of resilience feature research that focuses either on the individual, drawing inspiration from studies conducted in psychology, or on social and ecological systems (SES). The resilience of the individual is defined by Masten and Cicchetti (2016) as, “the potential or manifested capacity of an individual to adapt successfully through multiple processes to challenges that threaten the function, survival, or positive development.” Meanwhile, Folke (2016) defines the resilience of social and ecological systems as, “the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and reorganize while undergoing change so as to still retain essentially the same function, structure, and feedback, and therefore identity.”

Notes

  1. 1.

    The other festival mentioned here is the traditional “fete votive.” Camargue has a long and strong tradition which is expressed in every village each year through a festival made of bull games, dances, rituals. Festival ingredients are very different expressing very different values and meanings (see later in the text).
