About the Talk<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Recent disasters are often remembered as moments of sudden and total destruction\u2014cities buried, societies erased, and lives swept away in an instant. Yet a longer view of human history reveals more complex stories, in which survival, adaptation, and recovery play central roles. How have people lived with repeated disasters over long periods of time? Did catastrophes bring only ruin, or did they also foster new forms of creativity, culture, and community?<\/p>\n

This public lecture explores these questions through archaeology and history, using the Japanese archipelago as a long-term case study. Drawing on ongoing collaborative research within the Nordic\u2013Japan research programme CALDERA, it examines how societies have responded to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis across deep time. Marking the 15th anniversary of the 2011 T\u014dhoku earthquake and tsunami, the lecture focuses on three case studies: Mount Fuji and its long history of human engagement with volcanic risk; the Kikai-Akahoya super-eruption 7,300 years ago, which reshaped regional networks rather than causing total societal collapse; and the 2011 disaster, which prompted both profound loss and remarkable efforts at community rebuilding.<\/p>\n

By placing these cases in comparative perspective, the lecture invites a broad audience to reflect on disasters not only as moments of tragedy, but also as forces that can reshape social networks, cultural practices, and future possibilities.<\/p>\n
