Today, we
should pay closer attention to the culture of crisis/ disaster, past or
present, and look at how the disaster inscribes itself on the psyche and re-configures hyper-modern subjectivity while also examining how politics must
biologically constitute itself when faced with the catastrophe that is always
to come.
The archaeodisasters’ story needs to be told through the meta-optics
of politics/influence, science/conviction, vulnerability/recovery and
technology/nature. Disaster Science therefore must be a science of the
limit-experience of the Biosphere and a science of “conditions”. From Forensic
scientific fields to Earth Sciences and Humanities, from Environmental and
Landscape Archaeology to Salvage and Public Archaeology, from Disaster
Mythology and Astrology, to Eco-Anthropology, Disaster & Anarchist
Anthropology and Behavioral Modernities, Disaster Archaeology has a broader
spectrum of topics, views, practice and contribution to unfold.
