Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines long-term experiences of loss and grief among survivors of a massive earthquake that struck western Turkey in 1999. Based on extended ethnographic fieldwork in the region, I explore how subjectivity and temporality, loss and living on, can configure in the long aftermath of disaster. Drawing on the writings of Abû Hâmid al-Ghazâlî, I approach this relationship between disaster and future-making as a form of optimism. This article is part of a larger project concerned with the future of catastrophe – the ways that worlds and futures are fashioned in the wake of large-scale disaster.
