<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In todays culture, images and narratives of potential catastrophes and traumatic aftermaths have taken hold of the popular imagination. Inspired by Eva Horns quest in
<i>The Future as Catastrophe</i>, this volume invites examinations of past traumas and future catastrophes in modern East Asian literature and film, including the broader Sinophone world and Asian diaspora. We seek interdisciplinary perspectives from fields
such as memory studies, gender studies, posthumanism, ecocriticism, trauma studies, and others to explore the literary, cinematic, visual and poetic depictions of trauma and catastrophe in modern and contemporary East Asia. This volume aims to investigate
how traumatic memories shape narratives of the past and reconstruct present reality through literature, film, and other arts. We also explore how imaginings of future disasters engage with our present and create alternative realities. By deciphering collective
remembrance of the past and fantasies of future disasters, we hope to provide a platform for interpreting and perceiving modern East Asian reality with greater knowledge, rationality, sympathy, and solidarity.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
