| Summary: | The book, edited by Hanneke van Asperen and Lotte Jensen, explores the cultural responses to disasters such as floods, famines, earthquakes, and epidemics from early modern to modern times. It discusses the impact of socioeconomic and political conditions on disaster interpretation, the role of media in disseminating news about catastrophic events, and the cultural repertoires through which disasters have been mediated. The book also addresses the strategies communities have employed to cope with disasters, and how these events have shaped local and national identities. The authors aim to contribute to modern debates about cultural and creative strategies in response to disasters. |
