Resilience is concerned with maintaining systems and their functions. It is therefore particularly important which systems are considered worthy of preservation. Lukas Jüliger’s graphic novel Unfollow deals with precisely this question, as I will argue in this article. The main character Earthboi and his eco-religious movement change their assessment of human impact on nature in the course of the graphic novel: Initially, Earthboi seems to aim at improving the relationship of humans and nature as well as strengthening the psychological resilience of his followers in the face of an alienating modern lifestyle removed from nature. In the end, however, his movement comes to the conclusion that non-human nature should be liberated from humanity, a twist culminating in death and destruction. This terrible simplification condemned in the graphic novel’s epilogue rejects the idea of balancing the intricate relationship of humans and nature in a resilient way. Based on these reflections, my article pursues a reading strategy to interpret Jüliger’s graphic novel in light of the resilience paradigm. Analysing both plot and form, I will especially highlight the unreliable narration of the graphic novel and characterise Earthboi as a trickster figure. Recognizing the main character as a trickster links the analysis to the concept of the ecological system as panarchy, a connection theorised in the works of legal scholar Robin Craig following the resilience theorists C. S. Holling and Lance Gunderson.
