Critical Spatial Thinking and Extreme Events: Tools for Multiple Disciplines (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology) - Softcover
Book 454 of 472: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology
Synopsis
This open access book explores the complexity of socio-environmental extreme events and the possible ways to cope with them by mobilising critical and spatial thinking. Being set in “critical disaster studies”, it proposes a critique of dominant intellectual traditions and practices. However, unlike other works based exclusively on critical deconstruction, the book stirs an anticipatory, prefigurative and generative research sensibility for hope and new preparedness. Therefore, the volume proposes to unpack catastrophic and routine disaster related narratives, approaches, and actions often presented as necessary due to emergency reasons by referring to the rich debate on these topics developed in urban planning, policy, critical geography, environmental sociology, and political ecology. Technical solutions and new governance arrangements conceived to respond to disasters are closely observed to highlight what is at stake in an emergency, the differentiated impact of crises and disasters, their temporality and the medium/long-term effects of the response. Grounded in an extensive literature review of the topic and with relevant case studies in different parts of the world, the book appeals to those interested in applying critical thinking to contemporary territories in crisis, and addresses mainly researchers and master students from various backgrounds as well as policymakers.
