For centuries, news about catastrophic events has been disseminated through media such as chronicles, pamphlets, newspapers, poems, drawings, and prints. Nowadays, we are overwhelmed with news about the cataclysmic effects of recent forest fires, floods, and storms. Due to the ongoing climate crisis, extreme weather events will likely have ever greater impacts on our lives. This volume addresses cultural representations of catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and earthquakes over the centuries. In the past as now, artists and authors try to make sense of disasters, grasp their impact, and communicate moral, religious, or political messages. These creations reflect and shape how people learn and think about disasters that occur nearby or far away, both in time and space. The parallels between past and present underline how this book contributes to modern debates about cultural and creative strategies in response to disasters. 588 0 Vendor-supplied metadata. 650 0 Natural disasters|xHistory. 650 0 Disasters|xHistory. 650 0 Emergency management|xHistory. 650 7 Social and cultural history.|2bicssc 650 7 Social impact of disasters.|2bicssc 650 7 HISTORY / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM / Subjects & Themes / Historical Events *.|2bisacsh 650 7 NATURE / Natural Disasters.|2bisacsh 650 7 Cultural studies.|2thema 650 7 Social impact of disasters.|2thema 650 7 History: specific events and topics.|2thema 653 History, Art History, and Archaeology 653 HIS 653 Cultural Studies 653 CULTURAL 653 Early Modern Studies 653 EARLY MOD 653 Environment and Sustainability 653 ENVIR & SUST 653 Modern History 653 MOD HIS 653 Disasters, culture, representation, identity, history 700 1 Asperen, Hanneke van,|eeditor. 700 1 Jensen, Lotte,|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9789463725798 830 0 Disaster Studies. 914 on1371970670 947 MARCIVE Processed 2023/08/03 994 92|bCKE
