This work examines the factors that motivate and support community resilience, understood as a community's ability to absorb disturbance without changing state. It 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 identity are interrogated as potential 'footing' for the community's resilience. This investigation shows that together these factors support Shawville in producing and projecting particularity, understood as the community's self-identification as distinct and meaningful. Particularity is required for community resilience.

520 $a This work examines the factors that motivate and support community resilience, understood as a community's ability to absorb disturbance without changing state. It 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 identity are interrogated as potential 'footing' for the community's resilience. This investigation shows that together these factors support Shawville in producing and projecting particularity, understood as the community's self-identification as distinct and meaningful. Particularity is required for community resilience.
520 $a The scaffolding that supports Shawville's particularity and allows for its resilience is linked to the insights of resilience theory through the use of two resilience theory models. The fruitful use of analytic tools borrowed from environmental science demonstrates that resilient systems, be they ecological or social systems, require similar conditions. Resilience requires variability (internal flexibility) and diversity (external variety). In social systems variability and diversity are especially important to the realm of meaning-making. A community's capacity for resilience is only as robust as its capacity to make meaningful its current situation, its past experiences and its potential futures. Access to a wide range of alternative interpretations and responses both enriches a community's capacity for meaning-making and enhances its particularity.
520 $a The research is interdisciplinary, drawing on concepts and literatures from a variety of academic fields including anthropology, rural geography, history, and political economy. The data was collected through semi-formal interviews, observation and the local weekly newspaper.
