  Ideal notions of efficient aid are challenged continuously by realities on the ground in the wake of major disasters, such as dire needs, limited resources, and opportunism. This paper demonstrates how ‘relief lists’ can be productive entry points for a systematic inquiry into the pervasive politics of disaster assistance. Through an analysis of qualitative data collected during the five years after Cyclone Sidr struck Bangladesh on 15 November 2007, it examines how relief lists featured in both physical and phantom forms and then developed beyond their transparency-making aims, becoming elevated sites of struggle for post-disaster resources. Three list processes, selected to indicate the temporal, material, and spatial dynamics of relief encounters, are assessed in depth. Although recipients of cyclone relief appreciated its value, the paper argues that list politics also stimulated structures of vulnerability, including inequality. Gradually, relief, as governed after Sidr, also served to restore the differential vulnerability of the country’s coastal poor.

  This paper revisits the textual construction of expert (aid, government and research) accounts using the death toll (est. 3500) associated with Cyclone Sidr (15 November 2007) to indicate success in disaster death reduction. Analysing expert accounts collected from 2007-2017, the paper identifies seven problematic acts of framing that have shaped and forged a spiral of detachment leading ‘the case of Cyclone Sidr’ to be re-cast as a concerted risk governance success, largely sheltered from debate and experiences of affected people. The paper shows how a frame where considering Cyclone Sidr in juxtaposition to past cyclones emerged, and despite methodological critique (in 2009), sustained and consolidated, reaching authoritative texts such as the 2014 Human Development report and academic publications. Finally, the narrative transmitted into interpretations of recent cyclone impacts along the Bangladeshi coastline and took the shape of a never-ending story. After identifying the seven framing acts, the paper offers a systematic discussion of why they are problematic. It also shows how they, operating together, have inflated significance to an inaccurate narrative that has effects beyond distortion and into overlapping spheres of ethics, science and politics, challenging researchers to gather data that can re-attach disaster framing to realities of risk. Exposing the tacit politics of disaster framing becomes particularly relevant in Bangladesh, where implementing (government and aid) agencies continue to play key roles in knowledge production concerned with broader issues of disaster, development and sustainability.
