Resituating Crisis cover

The world is increasingly influenced by ongoing crises, or at least this is what mainstream media and politics wants us to believe. As is shown here, a 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.

“This is an excellent edited volume that is innovative, intriguing, and highly topical.”• James W Scott, University of Eastern Finland

“It has several fascinating and original chapters. It addresses crisis as an analytical term, bringing new perspectives on the term, its scale, and its analytical use.”• Synnøve Bendixsen, University of Bergen
