Abstract

Planning scholars increasingly value the social dimension of resilience (social resilience). A case study involving a collaborative granting project in British Columbia, Canada sheds light on some of the microprocesses involved in social resilience. It does so using an Actor Network Theory (ANT) lens. The case study results suggest a need to build greater awareness of the impact of distributed agency on resilience-focused projects and programs, along with the continuous networked efforts needed to build social cohesion. The case study also calls for more scholarship on how performativity can enhance agreement, cohesion, and resilience.
