Abstract
Based on an in-depth case study of the 2006 Java earthquake, Cultural Psychology of Coping with Disasters exemplifies how coping research can be contextualized and used to account for the psychological, social, geographic-material, historical, and political particularities. This concluding chapter offers a brief extract by tying the book’s main line of argument to key features of the case study. It articulates an understanding of coping as a complex material-symbolic, cognitive-embodied, and individual-social process and further suggests viewing this complex process as contingent on micro- and macro-dynamics of individual life-courses, community processes, and global histories.
