Drastic life events like that of a disaster are not easily forgotten. Various narratives emerge to keep alive the memory of a disaster, its precursors and its consequences in the minds of those who experience it. Therefore, disaster memories become an important source of information and learning, not only for the community but also for policy makers who can work towards identifying the precursors and reducing the consequences of a disaster. Discourses in Indian disaster studies have largely ignored the exploration and importance of memory and memorializing practices in communicating disaster risks and climate change. Ontologically speaking, most research in this area has continued to look at disaster as an external, materialistic and objective reality, which has resulted in the production of a large body of literature focused on different types of ‘assessment’ studies. However, disasters also have an ‘experiential’ reality, the memory of which results in the formation of memoryscapes with strong psychocultural consequences. Therefore, this article turns its attention to the experience of the disaster and uses the tool of ‘communicative memory’ to explore the ‘experiential’ world.

灾后记忆景象：传达2010年Leh山洪暴发后的灾害风险和气候变化

像灾难这样的灾难性生活事件不容易被遗忘。各种叙事形式不断涌现，使人们对灾难，灾难的先兆及其后果记忆犹新。因此，灾难记忆不仅成为社区的重要信息来源，而且也成为决策者的重要信息来源，他们可以努力确定先兆并减少灾难的后果。印度灾害研究中的论述在很大程度上忽略了在传达灾害风险和气候变化方面对记忆和纪念活动的探索和重要性。从本体论上讲，该领域的大多数研究继续将灾难视为一种外部的，物质的和客观的现实，这导致产生了大量针对不同类型“评估”研究的文献。但是，灾难也有一个“经验”现实，对它的记忆导致形成带有强烈心理文化后果的记忆景象。因此，本文将注意力转向灾难的经历，并使用“沟通记忆”工具探索“体验”世界。
