Since culture, the media and the arts deal with the perception and
the processing of catastrophe, what kind of social knowledge does
this process produce and how does it contribute to the sustainable
development of societies?The book seeks to understand how societies
and cultures deal with disaster and the rhetorical means they
resort to in order to represent it. It is situated on the cusp
between the response to natural catastrophe, the renewed awareness
of human vulnerability in the face of environmental hazard and
irresponsible policies and the social role of traditional knowledge
and humanistic ideas for the preservation of human communities. It
aims to be diverse, in disciplinary allegiance and cultural
situation, and relevant, by bringing together articles by
well-known scholars and policy makers to jointly discuss the
possibilities of reframing hazard for the future, so that one may
learn from restored behavior instead of repeating the mistakes of
the past.
