Abstract:
On e year. Eight years. Eighteen years. After disaster\, life goes on. Individ uals\, communities and countries rebuild and restructure\, leaving the time of disaster behind while they simultaneously incorporate its affective rea lities into their everyday lives. How can we understand the relationship be tween time and transformation in the wake of major natural disasters? How a re these relationships mediated by specific social\, political\, and econom ic contexts which may torque and twist the material and affective experienc es of reconstruction? This roundtable integrates diverse approaches to unde rstanding the social elements of disaster aftermaths – with an eye towards producing useable knowledge in the present as we prepare for future disaste rs. The speakers will share their anthropological research in India\, Sri L anka\, and Japan\, followed by a response focused on Vancouver from the cit y's lead seismic policy planner.
