Synopsis

This book brings together a distinguished, interdisciplinary group of scholars who offer a set of frameworks and a critical language for examining conventional understandings of catastrophe and the catastrophic. Framed around the ideas of Agamben, Kant and Benjamin, the volume demonstrates how the question of 'catastrophic time' is in fact a question about something much more than the frequency of disasters in our so-called 'Age of Catastrophe'.
