In this work, the socio-cultural consequences of the earthquake, which hit Banovina and SisakMoslavina counties in December 2020, are investigated, as well as the phenomena that preceded it and reproduced in the same time continuum. The theoretical starting point of the work is based on the discursive theory and analysis of Michael Foucault, who views discourse as a group of statements that structure the way a thing is thought and how human subjects act based on it. Opening the epistemological and ontological questions of the present through the concept of the anthropocene, I address the connection and intertwining of discourses and historical processes that reproduce power relations in society and thus susceptibility to the negative impacts of natural dangers and disasters. The influence of discursive formations on the community, how they are represented and reproduced and what kind of effects they create, is investigated. The work deals with the research of emotions/affects, atmosphere and discourse that enable a deeper penetration into the issue of life's insecurity. The purpose of the work is to point out the sources of insecurity or the precariousness of life, both at the local terrain level and in the broader interconnected global context. The work is based on fundamental anthropological methods and a wide range of materials, from daily lived experience and participation with observation, to the analysis of media representations of the earthquake, its repercussions, and the earthquake experiences of the interlocutors. The work is created as a collaboration of civil society, associations, individuals and groups embodying resilient hope.
