The Importance of Being Shawville: The Role of Particularity in Community Resilience
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the factors that motivate and support community resilience, understood as a community’s ability to absorb disturbance without changing state. The author looks specifically at the case of Shawville, Quebec, a community whose tenacity against a backdrop of socioeconomic and political change in recent decades makes its persistence stand out. Shawville’s particular geography, political economy and socio-linguistic (i.e. Anglophone) identity are interrogated as potential ‘footing’ for the community’s resilience. The author's investigation shows that together these factors support Shawville in producing and projecting particularity, understood as the community’s self-identification as distinct and meaningful.
