Navigating risk and resilience: Exploring cultural, local responses, livelihoods, and institutions to Mount Merapi's volcanic hazards
Mount Merapi, among the world’s most active volcanoes, poses complex risks while fostering unique opportunities for surrounding communities. This study investigates how local knowledge, cultural practices, and institutional frameworks converge to shape adaptive strategies and resilience in the face of volcanic hazards. Employing qualitative methods, including in-depth and group interviews with local residents, community leaders, traditional autho…
Religious modeling of a natural disaster: A cultural semiotic study
This study examines the relationship between disaster and religion by exploring three main questions: how religion shapes the interpretation of disasters and the subsequent recovery processes; how disasters transform religious practices; and how religious interpretations may coexist with scientific explanations of the same disaster. By focusing on the Aceh society’s experience after the 2004 tsunami, this paper argues that Islam, which serves as …
The post-disaster transformation of interspecies dependencies: From talkative buffalo to desemiotized cows on the slope of Mt. Merapi
This paper suggests how natural disasters may serve as the final propulsion for changes already taking place within a society. While focusing on shifts in human–non-human animal relations, this text also discusses their embedding in broader transformations of human–environment relations and the underlying economic and cultural change. It carves out interspecific dependencies that constitute an agro-ecosystem and follows their demise as the agricu…
The role of natural disasters in the semiotic transformations of culture: The case of the volcanic eruptions of Mt. Merapi, Indonesia
This study examines the entanglements of natural disasters and cultural changes from an ecosemiotic point of view. Taking the case of Mt. Merapi's periodic eruptions and the locals' interpretations of such constant natural hazards, it is based on empirical data gathered through longitudinal qualitative fieldworks on the local communities surrounding this volcano. In order to adapt to the constant natural hazards in their environment, disaster pro…
Contestations of cultural memory at a disaster monument: The case of the Aceh Tsunami Museum in Indonesia
In any post-disaster contexts, the affected societies will inevitably be involved in tensions between remembering and forgetting the past disaster experiences. They need to forget the disaster in order to return to their daily lives; at the same time, they also need to remember the disaster, which will usually involve canonization programs of the cultural memory of disaster. This study explores, how these programs, manifested in post-disaster mon…
