ABSTRACT Oceanic people and places are increasingly labelled as either ‘resilient’ or ‘vulnerable’ to disasters and climate change. Resilience is often described in disaster discourse as a strategy designed to overcome vulnerability by helping communities to ‘bounce back’ in the wake of ‘natural’ disasters. Using ethnographic research conducted with Community Disaster and Climate Change Committees (CDCs) in Vanuatu in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Pam, this paper seeks to problematise disaster responses that see the ‘community’ as a space to be acted upon by outsiders, or where people will respond in a unified way to the challenges of rebuilding after disaster. Using political ecology framings this paper critiques the ideas of resilience that appear entrenched in community-based disaster and climate change adaptation discourse and practice in Oceania. Rather than presupposing resilience or vulnerability, this paper details the dispersal and distribution power and agency amongst individual actors and groups that either supported or manipulated, the distribution of goods by Community Disaster Committees. In this way, it moves beyond the limitations of conceptual framings of resilience in disaster management and climate change into a more considered appraisal of power, by exploring what James Ferguson has termed ‘the politics of distribution’ in the context of disaster.

复原力的其他阴暗面：以社区为基础的加强复原力的努力中的政治和权力

摘要 海洋上的人和地方越来越多地被贴上“抗灾能力强”或“易受灾害和气候变化影响”的标签。在灾难讨论中，复原力通常被描述为一种旨在通过帮助社区在“自然”灾害之后“恢复”来克服脆弱性的策略。在热带气旋帕姆之后，利用与瓦努阿图社区灾害和气候变化委员会 (CDC) 进行的人种学研究，本文旨在解决将“社区”视为外人可以采取行动的空间或人们在那里采取行动的灾难响应问题。将统一应对灾后重建的挑战。本文使用政治生态学框架批判了在大洋洲基于社区的灾害和气候变化适应话语和实践中似乎根深蒂固的复原力思想。本文不以复原力或脆弱性为前提，而是详细介绍了支持或操纵社区灾难委员会货物分配的个体参与者和团体之间的分散和分配权力和代理。通过这种方式，它通过探索詹姆斯·弗格森 (James Ferguson) 所说的灾害背景下的“分配政治”，超越了灾害管理和气候变化中复原力概念框架的局限性，转而对权力进行了更深思熟虑的评估。本文详细介绍了支持或操纵社区灾难委员会货物分配的个体参与者和团体之间的分散和分配权力和代理。通过这种方式，它通过探索詹姆斯·弗格森 (James Ferguson) 所说的灾害背景下的“分配政治”，超越了灾害管理和气候变化中复原力概念框架的局限性，转而对权力进行了更深思熟虑的评估。本文详细介绍了支持或操纵社区灾难委员会货物分配的个体参与者和团体之间的分散和分配权力和代理。通过这种方式，它通过探索詹姆斯·弗格森 (James Ferguson) 所说的灾害背景下的“分配政治”，超越了灾害管理和气候变化中复原力概念框架的局限性，转而对权力进行了更深思熟虑的评估。
