Conclusion: Disaster Experiences Emerging from Rivalling Fields of Practice -- References -- Illustration Index -- Index of Tables -- Abbreviations -- List of InterviewsPeople experience disasters very differently. Conflicts about a »correct« interpretation of the risks might arise. The side-by-side of different truths lead to people seeing mismanagement and disinformation. The volcanic crisis of El Hierro shows how rivalling interpretations amongst affected islanders, the media, sciences, and disaster response institutions cause great social tensions and scepticism towards scientific information. Thus, to fully understand disaster risk, the focus must shift to the rifts between established convictions and the individuals' creativity to overcome them, taking into account their embeddedness in various fields of practice, each with their own rationales and ruptures.Sozial- und KulturgeographieDisasters; Culture; Media; Crisis; Risk; Disaster Mitigation; Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR); Nature; Human; Civil Society; Cultural Geography; Human Ecology; Environmental Policy; Geography;Civil Society.Crisis.Cultural Geography.Culture.Disaster Mitigation.Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).Environmental Policy.Geography.Human Ecology.Human.Media.Nature.Risk.Disasters; Culture; Media; Crisis; Risk; Disaster Mitigation; Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR); Nature; Human; Civil Society; Cultural Geography; Human Ecology; Environmental Policy; Geography;Orlowski Benedikt MFriedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Deutschlandaut1217361Ilse und Dr. Alexander Mayer-Stiftung.ng Austrian Science Fund - FWF (Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910554253903321Rivalling Disaster Experiences2815432UNINA
