Hamideh Mahdiani is a doctoral research fellow at the Resilience Research Centre. Hamideh holds both a bachelor and a masters in English literature, and has completed a second M.A in American Literature and Culture from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen, Germany. She is currently in her third year of PhD fellowship with the graduate school of ‘Life Sciences, Life Writing’ at the Institute for History, Theory and Ethics of medicine (GTE), funded by the German research foundation (DFG), as part of the University of Medicine, in Mainz, Germany. Her PhD work deals with narratives of resilience, from both scientific and non-scientific perspectives. Hamideh is interested in how various narratives of resilience structure this concept, for which she looks into life sciences’ understanding of resilience and compares and contrasts it with the one from the life writing perspective. She employs a hermeneutic and paradigmatic narrative look at the novels, memoirs, and the myths about human resilience, besides conducting a ‘narrative identity’ analysis of case studies. Additionally, she is interested in how the individual’s perception of place, culture, and generational stories contribute to human resilience or lack thereof.

Resilience, Adaptive Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice (2021)

Processes of post-war reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation are partly about fostering stability and adaptive capacity across different social systems. Nevertheless, these processes have seldom been expressly discussed within a resilience framework. Similarly, although the goals of transitional justice – among them (re)establishing the rule of law, delivering justice and aiding reconciliation – implicitly encompass a resilience element, transitional justice has not been explicitly theorised as a process for building resilience in communities and societies that have suffered large-scale violence and human rights violations. The chapters in this unique volume theoretically and empirically explore the concept of resilience in diverse societies that have experienced mass violence and human rights abuses. They analyse the extent to which transitional justice processes have – and can – contribute to resilience and how, in so doing, they can foster adaptive peacebuilding. This book is available as Open Access.
