Glocal Narratives of Resilience
Resilience discourse has become a global phenomenon, infiltrating the natural
and social sciences, but has rarely been an object of study in the humanities.
Understanding narrative in its broad sense as the representation in art of an
event or story, Glocal Narratives of Resilience investigates contemporary
approaches to resilience through the analyses of cultural narratives that
engage aesthetically and ideologically in (re)shaping the notion of resilience.
The book grounds its analyses of a wide range of narratives from the
American continent, Europe, and India at the intersection of various
theoretical strands, spanning western and Indigenous takes on resilience.
Ana María Fraile-Marcos is Associate Professor in the Department of
English Philology at the University of Salamanca.
