Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:
Finding words and images with which to describe and come to terms with a disaster is a psychological necessity, but it also inevitably manifests socio-cultural habits of thought and political interests. Language shapes, distorts and appropriates an occurrence that is not just a shocking and all too real destruction of life, property and the environment, but also a social construct. The 'unrepresentability' of the experience of a disaster and the textuality of the represented event - and thus also the contradictions, ruptures and silences inevitably created by the tensions between reality' and 'representation' - are the focus of the essays collected in this volume. Thirteen contributions by internationally active researchers in the fields of literary and cultural studies, history, sociology and philosophy provide interdisciplinary perspectives on the ways in which we write and think about the unimaginable.

Críticas:
«Any scholar who is interested in the current trends of "disaster studies" will welcome this volume as a valuable reference for primary and secondary sources. Especially because the essays do not focus on one particular disaster, but - as the editors state - rather analyze "the representation of disaster as a literary, rhetorical, cultural and political phenomenon," they appeal to a broad range of disciplines.» (Christoph Weber, Monatshefte)
