Epicentre to Aftermath makes both empirical and conceptual
contributions to the growing body of disaster studies literature by
providing an analysis of a disaster aftermath that is steeped in
the political and cultural complexities of its social and
historical context. Drawing together scholars from a range of
disciplines, the book highlights the political, historical,
cultural, artistic, emotional, temporal, embodied and material
dynamics at play in the earthquake aftermath. Crucially, it shows
that the experience and meaning of a disaster are not given or
inevitable, but are the outcome of situated human agency. The book
suggests a whole new epistemology of disaster consequences and
their meanings, and dramatically expands the field of knowledge
relevant to understanding disasters and their outcomes.
