Abstract

Based on a reflection of resilience in the criminological context the article combines the logic of network theory with Bruno Latour’s Actor Network-Theory in order to provide a concept of situational resilience that allows overcoming the dichotomous interpretation of resilience as independent characteristics of individuals and objects. From this perspective, resilience develops as a result of everyday situations comprising the actions of people who are associated with each other and with specific non-human beings, and material artefacts. Resilience arises in the operational process of networking between these different entities. Situational resilience means that specific associations of human, non-human beings and artefacts produce qualities of resilience in concrete situationally embedded action processes. This conceptualization has consequences for the empirical research of situational resilience: social actors and material factors should be considered in their association in order to recognize resilience patterns and their respective conditions of embedding. The article recommends to analyse these characteristics in empirical research that is focused on resilience patterns of human-artefact-constellations in (urban) settlement spaces.

Against this background, some criminologists believe the concept of resilience to be an empowering model that can benefit and strengthen marginalized people in disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods (Walklate 2011). In contrast, Foucauldian governmentality approaches consider the “resilient subject” as an expression of neoliberalism and stress that governments are promoting self-discipline and legitimizing the expansion of their own power in criminal justice (Ball 2011; de Lint and Chazal 2013). As Hardy (2015, p. 78) has observed, these contrasting views within criminology mimic divisions in the wider literature on resilience (Chandler and Coaffee 2017).
