In this darkly comic book, noted film historian David Thomson examines iconic disasters, both real and fictional, exposing the slippage between what occurs and what we observe. Demonstrating how disasters become yet another commodity for our consumption, Thomson shows how digital culture sates our desire to witness chaos while suffering none of its aftereffects. Through classic movies such as San Andreas; eyewitness responses to real disasters such as the Aberfan coal mining disaster and the coronavirus pandemic; and media portrayals of disasters throughout history, Thomson pulls back the curtain to reveal why we love watching disaster unfold--but only if it happens to others. 500 $a Includes index. 505 00 $t The Table -- $t In San Andreas -- $t Vag -- $t File Under "End of the World" -- $t In Aberfan -- $t Onlookerism -- $t All the News -- $t Pandemia Pandemonium -- $t Missteps in the Dark -- $t Across the Street -- $t The Numbers -- $t Our Road -- $t "Fuck Off, Disaster!" -- $t Necessity -- $t The Table -- $g Index. $g Index. 650 0 $a Disasters $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Disasters $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Disaster films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Disasters $x In mass media. 650 0 $a Disasters in literature. 650 6 $a Catastrophes $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a Films-catastrophes $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Catastrophes $x Dans les médias. 650 6 $a Catastrophes dans la littérature. 650 7 $a Disasters $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894796 650 7 $a Disasters in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894811 650 7 $a Disaster films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894721 650 7 $a Disasters $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894804 655 7 $a Film criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02025859 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Film criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques cinématographiques. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230513010128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76D469BCF15311ED9528572D34ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
