The attraction of crises fuels a significant sector of the media industry, where authors, artists, and filmmakers craft compelling narratives about the decline of empires and democracies, as well as natural disasters and epidemics. Catastrophes and collapses become intricate constructs shaped by experience, interpretation, and emotion. These narratives blend factual analyses of disasters with reflections on cultural memory, transforming random occurrences into memorable events. Contributors to this volume adopt a narratological lens to explore themes of collapse, disaster, and catastrophe, examining how these events are represented across various media. The pull of crisis captivates cultural and media creators alike, inspiring them to recount stories that resonate deeply within societies. By analyzing the interplay between fact and memory, the work highlights how incidents are reinterpreted and integrated into the collective consciousness. The editors and contributors come from diverse academic backgrounds, bringing a wealth of perspectives to the exploration of how crises are narrated and understood in contemporary culture.
