复原力是人道主义发展的一个主要主题。尽管如此，一些人道主义发展方案显然产生了负面影响，这鼓励弱势群体积极抵制这些方案。基于2017年至18年12个月 在乌干达一个难民定居点进行的人种学田野调查，本文认为，难民居民通过积极的、主要是非政治的抵抗，表达了他们对人道主义失败和腐败的拒绝。我将所使用的各种策略称为“抵抗韧性”，认为对这些做法至关重要的机构需要重新考虑有关韧性的假设。我的结论是，这个难民社区最重要的复原力战略是积极抵抗，这表明复原力可以通过被边缘化的人抵制剥削的愿望来体现。
ABSTRACT Resilience is a dominant humanitarian-development theme. Nonetheless, some humanitarian-development programmes have demonstrably negative impacts which encourage vulnerable people to actively resist these programmes. Based on 12 months ethnographic fieldwork in a Ugandan refugee settlement during 2017–18, this paper argues refugee residents articulated their refusal of humanitarian failure and corruption through active, largely non-political, resistance. I term the diverse strategies used ‘resistant resilience’, arguing that the agency central to these practices require that assumptions about resilience are reconsidered. I conclude that this refugee community’s most important resilience strategies were active resistance, demonstrating that resilience can be manifested through marginalised peoples’ desire to resist exploitation.
