Deutungsmacht in Krisenzeiten
edited by Rochus Leonhardt
German description: In den letzten Jahren ist der Krisenmodus zum Normalfall geworden. Finanzkrise, Fluchtlingskrise, Corona-Krise, weltweite Krise der Demokratie – es durfte Einigkeit daruber bestehen, dass die damit angesprochenen Probleme akut sind. Wie diese Krisen zu deuten sind und wie ihnen sachgerecht zu begegnen ist, daruber allerdings gehen die Meinungen auseinander. Und weil im Krisenfall immer ein erhohter Handlungsdruck besteht, kommt es zur Verscharfung und Polarisierung der offentlichen Debatten. Diese Debatten sind nichts anderes als Kampfe um die Deutungsmacht, an denen sich auch Populisten und Verschworungstheoretiker gern beteiligen. Der Band versammelt Beitrage aus den theologischen Teildisziplinen sowie aus nichttheologischen Wissenschaften. Zeitgenossische Diskurse zur Krisendeutung werden aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Perspektiven reflektiert. Mit Beitragen von Alexander Deeg, Klaus Fitschen, Marco Frenschkowski, Christian Hoffmann, Rochus Leonhardt, Gert Pickel, Andreas Schule und Peter Zimmerling. English summary: In recent years, a mode of crisis has become the norm. The financial crisis, the refugee crisis, the Covid-19 crisis, the global crisis of democracy ;there seems to be a consensus that the problems they refer to are acute. Opinions differ, though, concerning how to interpret these crises and how best to address them. And because there is constant increased pressure to act in the event of a crisis, there is an increased intensification and polarization of public debates. These debates are nothing other than struggles for the power of interpretation, in which populists and conspiracy theorists also like to participate. This volume brings together contributions from theological sub-disciplines and from non-theological sciences. Contemporary discourses on the interpretation of crisis are reflected upon from various scholarly perspectives.
