Abstract
This study examines the narratives surrounding Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) through the theoretical lens of Rob Nixon’s concept of slow violence, a form of environmental harm that unfolds gradually and invisibly across time and space. While Yolanda is widely remembered as a sudden and catastrophic event, this study argues that the disaster's long-term consequences—prolonged displacement, environmental degradation, and intensified socio-economic precarity—constitute a deeper, slower form of violence that disproportionately affects marginalized communities. By analyzing poems and personal narratives, the research explores how these literary writings construct the experience of environmental disaster not only as a moment of crisis but as a continuation of historical and political inequities. Furthermore, it examines how these texts reconfigure notions of place, belonging, and ecological responsibility, proposing a form of ecological literacy rooted in lived experience rather than scientific abstraction. Additionally, the study aims to reframe disaster narratives not as passive recollections of loss but as active interventions in climate discourse, capable of influencing policy, advocacy, and cultural memory.
