Theorizing Crisis Imaginaries
UCD Humanities Institute and IMLR (SAS, University of London) Joint Research Workshop
Format: Virtual
Date: 24 November 2020
One of the most used adverbs to describe the ongoing Covid-19 crisis is ‘unprecedented’: the global spread of the infection, the absence of a vaccine, gloomy forecasts about the long-term economic impacts, and the frenzied mediatization of Covid-19 news stories have produced a crisis imaginary that permeates daily life. Like many other crises, the Covid-19 crisis has disrupted our habitual realities: the highly infectious virus has travelled across regional and national boundaries, crossing continents to create a transnational “mega event” disrupting economic activity, education, cultural life, and everyday social interactions.
Using the idea of a “crisis imaginaries” as a springboard, our workshop investigates the conceptual dimensions of crises from interlocking and interdisciplinary perspectives.
