The Negation of a Disaster
Disasters offer the social science researcher a fine opportunity to study the nature of the social and cultural construction of reality. As Barth has astutely reminded people, the study of the construction of reality should always be directed at “the here and now.” The news media play an important role in informing the public, policy makers, politicians, and emergency management officials about any disasters, but especially about technological di…
Postscript: Continued Disavowal and the Advent of Social Media
Corporations and government officials continue to downplay the impact of disasters and at times even deny that a disaster has occurred. One of the most flagrant examples of downplaying a disaster occurred during the early days of the British Petroleum Deepwater spill when a BP official claimed that “the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to be modest,” a prediction that was quickly proven to be overly optimistic at best. The most sig…
Disaster Culture: Knowledge and Uncertainty in the Wake of Human and Environmental Catastrophe
When disaster strikes, a ritual unfolds: a flood of experts, bureaucrats, and analysts rush to the scene; personal tragedies are played out in a barrage of media coverage; on the ground, confusion and uncertainty reign.

He explains how corpora…

The Massachusetts Indian Enfranchisement Act: Ethnic Contest in Historical Context, 1849-1869
The AA. examine the granting of citizenship and voting rights to Indians in Massachusetts as a case of inter-ethnic negotiation much more complicated than the rubric of Indian-white policy suggests. They first examine the ways in which outside events altered state policy, despite strong continuities in ethnic boundaries. They explore the complex definition of ethnic identity by residents within Indian enclave communities, and the different unders…
