Why Rebuild on Toxic, Sinking Ground?: The Challenges for Disaster Recovery in Southeast Louisiana by Jamie Lynn Chan

“…Cultural resilience alone, however, is not enough to resist the onslaught of climate disasters nor counter systemic disinvestment in their communities. Through combining historical and ethnographic insights from the Black residents in Cancer Alley, the Vietnamese refugee community in New Orleans East, and the Indigenous tribal members of the Grand Bayou Village, this article argues that marginalized landscapes and livelihoods have been structurally made to become untenable within the economic bounds of disaster recovery. …”

“…They look at the role of dialogue, the dialogical (signifying signs), and the limitations of the dialogical as one considers contemporary processes of cybernetisation and how “asignifying signs” are produced and exchanged within complex systems of all kinds. Prompted by the opening question referring to cybernetics as a general study of information processes, focusing on the production, exchange, and consumption of meaning, not limited to a focus on digital logic, Goodbun and Sweeting revisit a plethora of positions on dialogue including those of Gordon Pask, Gregory Bateson, Ranulph Glanville, David Bohm among others. …”
