Coming to Terms with a Crisis
Coming to Terms with a Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world as a (purportedly) novel situation with which people struggled to come to terms. The contributors to this volume show how various actors reacted to this pandemic through specific forms of representation and storytelling in popular culture, public discourse, and science communication. They demonstrate how these representations both leverage new media and resort to familiar scripts and characters to make sense of the situation, and uncover the transformative potential of narratives about epi-/pandemics across different domains and their contribution to the production of knowledge as well as the recalibration of norms and values.
