abstract="The concept of disaster in the modern world has been socially constructed from traditional notions relating to catastrophic events. Disasters in modern societies contain strong elements of a release of repressed existential anxiety, triggered by a perceived betrayal of trust by contemporary institutions. It is speculated that the well-known &quot;disaster myths&quot; that figure in media and other accounts of disastrous events are elements of a related characterization of disasters as a loss of control of social order.<p />",
