Resituating Crisis - Silencing and Voicing Crisis in Everyday Life

"The world is increasingly influenced by ongoing crisis, or at least this is what mainstream media and politics wants us to believe. When portrayed here, crisis most often comes in the form of situations challenging a sense of normality, such as with violent conflicts, pandemics, or forced migration. However, crisis is not just a situation twisting normality but can become constitutive of normality itself. In exploring transformative and constructive elements to being in crisis, this volume resituates the view on crisis in everyday life to foster critical and nuanced examination of discourses on and experiences of it"-- Provided by publisher.
