Catastrophic events and predictions have spurred new interest in re-examining the history of earlier disasters and the social and conceptual resources they have mobilized. The essays gathered in this volume reconsider the history and theory of different catastrophes and their aftermath. The emphasis is on the need to distance this process of reconsideration from previous teleological representations of catastrophes as an endpoint, and to begin considering their "operative" aspects, which unmask the nature of social and political structures. Among the essays in this volume are analyses, by leading scholars in their respective fields, concerning the role of catastrophes in theology, in the history of industrial accidents, in theory of history, in the history of law, in "catastrophe films", in the history of cybernetics, in post-Holocaust discussions of reparations, and in climate change. 606 $aDisasters$xHistory 606 $aDisasters$xSocial aspects 615 0$aDisasters$xHistory. 615 0$aDisasters$xSocial aspects. 676 $a363.3409 686 $aAR 14120$qBVB$2rvk 702 $aLebovic$b Nitzan$f1970- 702 $aKillen$b Andreas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825752703321 996 $aCatastrophes$91998309 997 $aUNINA
