In this article, I explore the concept of resilience and its relevance for evaluating hybrid court design and the impact of hybrid courts in societies that have experienced periods of mass violence or repression. I begin by tracing the evolution of the concept of resilience from the fields of materials science and ecology to human responses to natural and human-made disasters. Then, I examine the implications of how one defines the concept for the policy recommendations that should be provided to the architects and staff of hybrid courts. From there, I assess how the way one conceives of resilience shapes the assessment of the circumstances under which hybrid courts are more likely to be beneficial for violence-affected societies. I conclude by reflecting upon the utility of adopting resilience language in the study of hybrid courts. Resilience may be seductive conceptually because it provides a vision of empowerment and autonomy for victims and affected communities. However, resilience thinking is also consistent with neoliberal prescriptions that are contrary to the realization of the type of emancipatory justice that many hybrid court advocates seek.

弹性的概念与混合法院的评价

在本文中，我探讨了复原力的概念及其与评估混合法庭设计的相关性，以及混合法庭在经历过大规模暴力或镇压时期的社会中的影响。我首先追溯弹性概念从材料科学和生态学领域到人类对自然和人为灾难的反应的演变。然后，我研究了人们如何定义应该向混合法院的建筑师和工作人员提供的政策建议的概念的含义。从那里，我评估了人们对复原力的看法如何影响对混合法院更有可能对受暴力影响的社会有益的情况的评估。最后，我反思了在混合法院研究中采用弹性语言的效用。复原力在概念上可能很诱人，因为它为受害者和受影响的社区提供了赋权和自主的愿景。然而，弹性思维也与新自由主义的处方相一致，这些处方与许多混合法院倡导者寻求的解放正义类型的实现背道而驰。
