       Contributors 
520    Disasters are as much cultural as natural phenomena. 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.
