没有城市的公民：拉奎拉地震后的破坏与绝望

2009年，意大利山城拉奎拉发生地震后，幸存者遭受了“第二次地震”——侵入性的媒体关注和救援行动，使他们在被迫重新安置和展望新未来时处于公民身份暂停状态。
在《没有城市的公民》一书中，简·乔纳森·博克（Jan Jonathan Bock）揭示了政府不成比例的反应如何加剧了幸存者的危机感，分化了当地人口，并引发了新型的政治行动。意大利被剥夺了公民权利的紧急反应将公民重新安置到一个被毁坏的城镇景观的营地和地点，而没有恢复或返回的计划。通过草根政治、艺术和文化、纪念仪式、建筑项目和法律渠道，当地人现在寻求塑造家乡的复苏。博克将对灾难影响的分析与对灾后公民生活、城市遗产、哀悼政治和社区分裂的洞察结合起来。

Citizens without a City: Destruction and Despair after the L’Aquila Earthquake
In 2009, after seismic tremors struck the Italian mountain town of L’Aquila, survivors were subjected to a “second earthquake”―invasive media attention and a relief effort that left them in a state of suspended citizenship as they were forcibly resettled and had to envision a new future.
In Citizens without a City, Jan-Jonathan Bock reveals how a disproportionate government response exacerbated survivors’ sense of crisis, divided the local population, and induced new types of political action. Italy’s disenfranchising emergency reaction relocated citizens to camps and sites across a ruined townscape, without a plan for restoration or return. Through grassroots politics, arts and culture, commemoration rituals, architectural projects, and legal avenues, local people now sought to shape their hometown’s recovery. Bock combines an analysis of the catastrophe’s impact with insights into post-disaster civic life, urban heritage, the politics of mourning, and community fragmentation.
