Common Predetermined Breaking Points: Investigations into the Cultural Meaning of the Disaster

  • Daniel Ziegler

Abstract

The 2/2011 volume of the Zeitschrift für Kulturwissenschaften (Journal for the Study of Culture) deals with different social practices of handling major incidents. Consistently, the focus is laid on the question of how far the disruptive incident is both constitutive and destructive for the production of social normality, and which role narration plays for coming to terms with catastrophes. The discourse extends from technological and culture-theoretical  to social-scientific methods and film studies approaches.
