Tsunamis in Italy and the Mediterranean - Between Perception and Historical Reconstruction
The tragedies of great earthquake waves in Southeast Asia (Indonesia 2004 and Japan 2011) led to the entry into the common lexicon of a new word - 'tsunami' - which was before then confined within the boundaries of science. The exoticism of the term and the geographical distance of these disasters were both reassuring elements for public opinion in Italy and elsewhere, and several statistical studies show that Italian people have a low level of hazard awareness. Yet many tsunamis have occurred in the Mediterranean Sea, and more specifically along the Italian coast, over the centuries. The aim of this work is therefore to identify the main catastrophic events of the Mare Nostrum and the way these tsunamis were perceived by people at the time.
期刊介绍:
The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
