- More about Crises We Live By: A transdisciplinary study of crisis and its metaphors in their cultural context
After an original foreword from Andreas Musolff setting the stage of the book, Crises We Live By offers a series of case studies that highlight different ways of conceptualizing and speaking about crisis, above all metaphorically. Its title echoes Lakoff and Johnson’s famous Metaphors We Live By (1980) and speaks to the unprecedented awareness of the theme of crisis and its conceptualization that has emerged in contemporary media and discourse. The book makes an innovative contribution to crisis studies and to Cognitive Metaphor Theory (CMT) by extending its historical reach back to antiquity and by adopting a transdisciplinary approach that takes into account the specific cultural context and framing of each metaphor for crisis.
