Unpacking vulnerability, agency, and resistance

Abstract In this paper I seek to bring together the thematic strands discussed by the contributors in this Special Issue and situate their work in a wider conversation centred around vulnerability. This paper particularly highlights the ways in which vulnerability is explored, problematised, and resignified across different symbolic, geographical, and embodied contexts, following the diverse range of spatio-temporal examples put forward by the contributors. Connecting the theoretical and practical understandings of vulnerability as discussed in the Special Issue, I follow the entangled trajectories explored throughout the Issue that call for an expanded understanding of a Semiotic Landscape (SL) approach to vulnerability as shared, relational, and interlinked between people and more-than-human landscapes.
