In April of 2019, the Rockefeller Foundation's ‘100 Resilient Cities’ (100RC) programme abruptly shuttered, surprising programme proponents and critics alike. In this paper, we explore why this happened, why some styles of geographic critique could not anticipate 100RC’s closure, and what this inability means for dominant strands of critical geographic analysis. To answer these questions, we bring literature on the biopolitics of resilience, technopolitics and Black geographies to bear on the case of Greater Miami resilience planning. We argue that answers to these questions revolve around the designerly roots of resilience thinking, whose distinct intellectual lineage conventional critical approaches have struggled to pick up on. We show how, on the one hand, design practices of synthesis in Greater Miami attempted to frame and instrumentalise Black histories of and experiences with racial and environmental violence as bounded knowledge that could improve the functioning of complex systems. On the other hand, synthesis created overflowings: opaque knowledges and experiences that resist the framing process and continue to mediate political battles over what resilience in Greater Miami practically becomes. Based on the case, we propose that an inductive style of critique that traces processes of framing and overflowing can help advance critical geographic analysis. As we illustrate in the paper, this mode of critique pays specific attention to the opaque, historically and contextually specific knowledges and experiences that refuse to be framed or synthesised, and work to counter-frame dominant conceptions of resilience—critical and conventional alike.

设计驱动的弹性和地理批判的局限性

2019 年 4 月,洛克菲勒基金会的“100 个弹性城市”(100RC) 计划突然关闭,令计划支持者和批评者都感到惊讶。在本文中,我们探讨了为什么会发生这种情况,为什么某些风格的地理评论无法预料到 100RC 的关闭,以及这种无能为力对关键地理分析的主导链意味着什么。为了回答这些问题,我们将有关复原力的生命政治、技术政治和黑人地理的文献引入大迈阿密复原力规划的案例。我们认为,这些问题的答案围绕着弹性思维的设计根源展开,传统的批判方法一直难以接受其独特的智力血统。我们展示了如何,一方面,大迈阿密的综合设计实践试图将黑人种族和环境暴力的历史和经历构建和工具化为可以改善复杂系统功能的有限知识。另一方面,综合创造了溢出:不透明的知识和经验抵制框架过程,并继续调解关于大迈阿密地区的复原力实际上会变成什么样的政治斗争。基于该案例,我们提出一种追溯框架和溢出过程的归纳式批判可以帮助推进批判性地理分析。正如我们在论文中说明的那样,这种批评模式特别关注不透明的、历史和背景特定的知识和经验,这些知识和经验拒绝被框定或综合,
