In showing how the women survivors (a) personify the storm; (b) explain order and safety in cycles and seasons; and (c) explain syncretic theologies pertaining to ideas of justice, I argue that they enact an ancient ferocity as a form of agency for survival.Keywords: anthropology of disasters • Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda • feminist ethnography • Leyte • decolonizing methodology |
