2023 edition of the Journal of the Anthropological Society of Oxford out now
Volume XV: Special issue: Uncertainty and survivance: what remains after the crisis?
This special edition of the Journal of the Anthropological Society of Oxford (JASO) extends the concept of 'Survivance', a term that merges 'survival' and 'resistance'.
It is a concept developed by Native American Scholar Gerald Vizenor who has written of traumatic events within Native American history. This edition of JASO uses the lens of survivance to explore uncertain times.
[Survivance] acknowledges both the lasting harm and anxiety inflicted upon people’s lives from crises and unprecedented changes, unpredictable events, and violence, and its determination not to depict these lives solely as reactions to uncertainty, violence, and crisis.
