Añadir al carritoHardback. Condición: New. This book announces the new, interdisciplinary field of critical disaster studies. Unlike most existing approaches to disaster, critical disaster studies begins with the idea that disasters are not objective facts, but rather are interpretive fictions-and they shape the way people see the world. By questioning the concept of disaster itself, critical disaster studies reveals the stakes of defining people or places as vulnerable, resilient, or at risk. As social constructs, disaster, vulnerability, resilience, and risk shape and are shaped by contests over power. Managers and technocrats often herald the goals of disaster response and recovery as objective, quantifiable, or self-evident. In reality, the goals are subjective, and usually contested. Critical disaster studies attends to the ways powerful people often use claims of technocratic expertise to maintain power. Moreover, rather than existing as isolated events, disasters take place over time. People commonly imagine disasters to be unexpected and sudden, making structural conditions appear contingent, widespread conditions appear local, and chronic conditions appear acute. By placing disasters in broader contexts, critical disaster studies peels away that veneer. With chapters by scholars of five continents and seven disciplines, Critical Disaster Studies asks how disasters come to be known as disasters, how disasters are used as tools of governance and politics, and how people imagine and anticipate disasters. The volume will be of interest to scholars of disaster in any discipline and especially to those teaching the growing number of courses on disaster studies.

Añadir al carritoBuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'This book reflects the efforts of a group of scholars to consider a new generation of research on disasters and to chart a course for future study. They find common cause under the banner of 'critical disaster studies,' even as their individual research agendas span at least seven disciplines and four continents. Existing research often assumes the category of disaster as an objective given and aspires to a technical analysis of achievements and failures-while treating political and historical context as, at best, just another variable in the matrix. The authors in this book do the opposite. They do not take disasters, as a thing in themselves, for granted. They find context essential. Therefore, although they often seek to understand one particular event, they do so by widening the frame to perceive the social surround'--.
