弹性是什么样的东西？考虑这个问题对我们关于韧性和当代条件的主张有什么影响？正如去年《政治特刊》所收录的文章的多样性所说明的那样，一种被称为“韧性”的东西似乎已经在生活的多个领域中扩散开来，充其量也只是部分联系。复原力，无论是什么，现在似乎无处不在;在各种政策和方案中颁布的安全承诺的最新版本，提供了在一个动荡的危机世界中生存的绝望希望，并要求主体，人口和系统。从现在将“复原力”作为适应不稳定经济世界的“商业技能”教授的工作培训方案（Coutu，2002年），到城市精英试图建立“复原力城市”以应对气候变化（Braun，2014年），“变得复原力”是在一个充满紧急情况和灾难的世界中反复出现和听到的，在这个世界中，事件发生后的生存总是受到质疑。然而，尽管人们似乎一致认为，复原力已经激增，但对于究竟是什么、如何以及为什么激增，却没有达成共识。
What kind of thing is resilience? And what are the implications of considering this question for the claims we make about resilience and the contemporary condition? As illustrated by the diversity of articles included in last year’s Special Issue of Politics, something called ‘resilience’ appears to have proliferated across multiple, at best partially connected, domains of life. Resilience, whatever it is, appears now to be everywhere; the latest iteration of the promise of security, enacted in diverse policies and programmes, offered as a desperate hope of survival in a world of roiling crises, and demanded of subjects, populations and systems. From work training programmes that now teach ‘resilience’ as a ‘business skill’ for adjusting to precarious economic worlds (Coutu, 2002), to attempts by urban elites to produce ‘resilient cities’ in response to climate change (Braun, 2014), ‘become resilient’ is the refrain made and heard in a world of emergencies and catastrophes in which survival after events is always in question. However, while there appears to be agreement that resilience has proliferated, there is less consensus about what exactly it is that has proliferated, how and why.
