The environmental crisis is rendering increasingly large areas of the planet inhospitable. As it reaches a tipping point, global warming is initiating cascades of ecological transformation, mass extinction, and irreversible damage—all of them increasingly beyond human control. To mitigate this situation, we need intellectual tools that can call on both the sciences and the humanities and spark integrated approaches that address deep-time scales. Archaeology can make a substantial contribution here. This article reviews the merits and limitations of the resilience concept in archaeology. Despite its ever-increasing relevance, resilience is still frequently understood within the framework of positivist approaches and branches of systems thinking that cannot capture our unfolding predicament and pay too little attention to the embodied historical asymmetries between more-than-human social worlds. This review identifies the potential for reformulations of resilience theory and its attendant concepts within a less positivistic and human-centered conceptual register. New translations of resilience in archaeology pave the way for more nuanced approaches to concepts of history and their sociopolitical use, as well as alternative time dynamics of historical change.

重新翻译考古学中的复原力理论


环境危机正在使地球上越来越多的地区变得不适宜居住。当全球变暖达到临界点时，它正在引发一连串的生态转变、大规模灭绝和不可逆转的损害——所有这些都日益超出人类的控制范围。为了缓解这种情况，我们需要能够调用科学和人文学科的知识工具，并激发解决深时间尺度的综合方法。考古学可以在这里做出重大贡献。本文回顾了考古学中复原力概念的优点和局限性。尽管韧性的相关性不断增强，但人们仍然经常在实证主义方法和系统思维分支的框架内理解它，这些方法和分支无法捕捉我们正在展开的困境，也很少关注人类社会世界之间所体现的历史不对称性。这篇综述确定了在不太实证主义和以人为中心的概念范围内重新表述复原力理论及其随之而来的概念的潜力。考古学中复原力的新翻译为历史概念及其社会政治用途以及历史变化的替代时间动态的更细致的方法铺平了道路。
