Cultures of Disaster pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

The growing impact of natural hazards on many societies has engendered a demand for more in-depth knowledge about how best to deal with their effects. This study explores the relationship between environment and culture in the contemporary Philippines, where natural hazards have occurred with such historical frequency that their constant threat has been integrated into the schema of daily political, economic and social life to form what can be called a 'culture of disaster'. The aim is to use the example of the Philippines to examine the relationship between culture and environment in societies that are inherently vulnerable to natural hazard on account of their geographical location, topography or, more recently, as a result of historically unprecedented processes of environmental change. Bankoff argues that hazard is not perceived in the same way by all societies but like other aspects of culture is a social construction, and that the extremes of wealth and power that characterise these societies are partially the result of the frequency and magnitude of such events. The resultant culture of disaster' treats hazard as a constant feature of the physical environment, one where the chronic threat of extreme geophysical events has been normalised as an integral part of the culture. Within an interpretive framework, this study shows that where hazard has been normalised as an integral part of culture, behaviour becomes characterised by the development of specific coping mechanism that permit particular societies to reach permanent accommodation with the effects of these events. In the Philippines, the absolute cost of these disasters is not shared by the society as a whole but falls disproportionately on those least able to bear them. The book will be of interest to practitioners engaged in relief policy and administration in developing countries, as well as academics in both the social and natural sciences, providing a useful resource for those in Asian studies, Development studies, Environmental studies, Political Science and the growing field of Disaster studies.
