This article is a contribution to the political economy of consent based on the analysis of speeches, declarations, initiatives, and policies implemented in the name of resilience in the context of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. It argues that, in practice as much as in theory, resilience fuels peoples’ submission to an existing reality—in the case of Fukushima, the submission to radioactive contamination—in an attempt to deny this reality as well as its consequences. The political economy of consent to the nuclear, of which resilience is one of the technologies, can be grasped at four interrelated analytical levels adapted to understanding how resilience is encoded in key texts and programs in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi accident. The first level is technological: consent through and to the nuclear technology. The second level is sociometabolic: consent to nuisance. The third level is political: consent to participation. The fourth level is epistemological: consent to ignorance. A fifth cognitivo-experimental transversal level can also be identified: consent to experimentation, learning and training. We first analyze two key symptoms of the despotism of resilience: its incantatory feature and the way it supports mutilated life within a contaminated area and turns disaster into a cure. Then, we show how, in the reenchanted world of resilience, loss opens doors, that is, it paves the way to new “forms of life”: first through ignorance-based disempowerment; second through submission to protection. Finally, we examine the ideological mechanisms of resilience and how it fosters a government through the fear of fear. We approach resilience as a technology of consent mobilizing emotionalism and conditioning on one side, contingency and equivalence on the other.

福岛的复原力：对同意政治经济的贡献

本文基于对福岛核灾难背景下以复原力名义实施的演讲、宣言、倡议和政策的分析，对同意的政治经济学做出了贡献。它认为，无论在实践中还是在理论上，复原力都会助长人们对现有现实的屈服——在福岛的情况下，即对放射性污染的屈服——试图否认这一现实及其后果。同意核能的政治经济学，其中复原力是其中一项技术，可以在四个相互关联的分析层次上掌握，以了解在福岛第一核电站事故之后复原力是如何编码在关键文本和程序中的。第一级是技术层面：同意并同意核技术。第二个层次是社会代谢：同意滋扰。第三个层面是政治层面：同意参与。第四个层次是认识论的：同意无知。还可以确定第五个认知实验横向水平：同意实验、学习和培训。我们首先分析了韧性专制的两个关键症状：它的咒语特征以及它支持受污染区域内残缺不全的生命并将灾难转化为治愈的方式。然后，我们展示了，在恢复力的重生世界中，失去是如何打开大门的，也就是说，它为新的“生活形式”铺平了道路：首先是通过基于无知的剥夺权力；二是通过服从保护。最后，我们研究了韧性的意识形态机制，以及它如何通过对恐惧的恐惧来培养政府。
