Summary, in English

The articles in this issue address issues of livability, resistance and hope in different ways, from different disciplinary contexts and with a wide range of materials. The question posed is who is considered to have lives worth protecting, and what makes life liveable for those who are positioned outside the intelligible and thus worthy of protection and care. Here we relate to Butler's analysis and suggestions for thinking about individual lives and society's formation of livability. An important point is that livability refers to something that goes beyond survival.
