Summary	Floods are a fundamental part of Dutch history. Indeed, having 'tamed' the threats associated with living below sea level is part of Dutch national identity. In the cultural depictions of these devastating events, however, national pride goes hand-in-hand with the collective trauma of exposed vulnerability. In a time of rising global sea levels, cultural scholar Lotte Jensen dives into the stories and images of the past to unpack this paradox for today.
