Latin American perspectives on slow disasters
Purpose This forum article discusses the concept of slow disasters from Latin America, presenting different perspectives and experiences of practical research using this notion. It discusses the extent to which a focus on the “slow” temporality of disasters advances our understanding of socio-environmental processes in the region. Design/methodology/approach The article emerges from a pilot project to explore the relevance of temporality to analy…
“Respect existence or expect … resilience ?” epistemic reflexivity towards liberated disaster studies
Purpose This paper proposes a way of reflexing on how we think within critical disaster studies. It focuses on the biases and unthought dimensions of two concepts – resilience and development – and reflects on the relationship between theory and practice in critical disaster studies. Design/methodology/approach Premised on the idea of epistemic reflexivity developed by Pierre Bourdieu, and drawing on previous research, this theoretical article an…

Divergent disaster events? The politics of post-disaster memory on the urban margin
Rather than one-time events, disasters are processual phenomena driven by multiple drivers of disaster risk and that leave a myriad of traces on affected areas. Remembering such traces can help local communities to deal with disaster impacts. Memorialisation is not neutral, however, as memory by definition selects certain symbols and excludes others, rendering this a contentious process. By focusing on the politics of disaster memory, I show how …
Disrupting Risk Governance? A Post-Disaster Politics of Inclusion in the Urban Margins
Facing climate emergency and disaster risks, cities are developing governing arrangements towards sustainability and resilience. Research is showing the ambivalent results of these arrangements in terms of inclusion and (in)justice, as well as their outcomes in emptying the ‘properly political’ through depoliticised governing techniques. Acknowledging this post-political thesis, however, critical analyses must also engage with re-politicization a…
Planning for Exclusion
Many disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives, including land use planning, tend to ignore existing long-term inequalities in urban space. Furthermore, scholars working on urban disaster governance do not adequately consider how day-to-day DRR governing practices can (re)produce these. Hence, following a recent interest in the political dimensions of disaster governance, this article explores under what conditions the implementation of DRR land …
Consumo de drogas lícitas e ilícitas en Chile
The principal results are presented here from the Third National Study of the Consumption of Drugs, which was carried out in Chile by the National Board for Narcotics Control between 1 September 1998 and 15 January 1999. The 1998 study used the same methodological design as the first and second studies, which were done in 1994 and 1996. The 1998 study expanded the sample to 31,665 individuals, who were representative of a population of 6,940,727 …
