S7E4 - The Invention of Disaster

S7E4 - The Invention of Disaster

Today we are joined by our friend and sometimes co-host JC Gaillard to discuss his recently published book, The Invention of Disaster!In it he argues that there isn’t such a thing as a disaster because our current understanding of disasters is a subjective interpretation of suffering, harm and damage that allows those in power to draw a line between what is acceptable and what is not. We discuss what he calls ‘epistemological nonsense’ and it gets very philosophical as we get into critical-Left theory - Foucault to Latour, to Derrida, to Spivak, Said and Gramsci!! Join us :)
