In World Literature Studies, vol. 15, no.2, pp. 66-76. 1337-9275. DOI: https://doi.org/10.31577/WLS.2023.15.2.6 1337-9275 http://hdl.handle.net/10366/163024 10.31577/WLS.2023.15.2.6 1337-9690 This article examines the notion of socio-ecological resilience and its current alignment with neoliberalism in Sharon Bala’s The Boat People (2018). Drawing on Philippe Bourbeau’s theorizing about the interconnection of resilience and security and contemporary studies of resilience, this article explores the current use of socio-ecological resilience as a government strategy to deal with global humanitarian crises posed by refugees and asylum seekers. Moreover, this article examines the main elements, motifs, and narrative devices used in the novel to produce an aesthetics that highlights the chaos, uncertainty, and hopelessness resulting from the articulation of political notions of resilience in neoliberal times. eng Slovak Academy of Sciences Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Socio-Ecological Resilience Asylum seekers Uncertainty Sharon Bala The Boat People 5506.13 Historia de la Literatura 6202 Teoría, Análisis y Crítica Literarias 5701.07 Lengua y Literatura Socio-Ecological Resilience in Sharon Bala's The Boat People info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.sav.sk/?lang=en&doc=journal-list&part=article_response_page&journal_article_no=30930 World Literature Studies 15 2
