- Abstract
- This volume seeks to expand the discussion initiated during the conference by gathering contributions from a wide range of disciplines, periods, and geographical contexts. We particularly welcome papers that engage critically with the theoretical and methodological dimensions of resilience, robustness, and antifragility in historical and archaeological reconstructions. In recent years, the concept of resilience, adapted from ecology, has been increasingly applied to the study of past human–environmental systems. While this framework has yielded valuable insights, it has also raised concerns regarding definitional clarity, methodological consistency, and interpretative overuse. More recently, the notion of antifragility—systems that thrive and improve when exposed to shocks and disruptions—has emerged as a productive lens for rethinking the dynamics of past societies. This volume aims to explore these concepts comparatively, fostering innovative historical narratives that capture the complexity and dynamism of socio-environmental interactions.
