In this volume, distinguished scholars of narrative provide their early attempts - triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic - to understand "crises" from a narrative perspective. They discuss the narrative notions of crises as an ongoing situation, thereby uncovering ideals of stability and certainty as epistemologically questionable psychological concepts. The authors all start with insight into early considerations, from mid-2020, at a time still without vaccines and variants.

In this volume, distinguished scholars of narrative provide their early attempts - triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic - to understand "crises" from a narrative perspective. They discuss the narrative notions of crises as an ongoing situation, thereby uncovering ideals of stability and certainty as epistemologically questionable psychological concepts. The authors all start with insight into early considerations, from mid-2020, at a time still without vaccines and variants. They revisit their thoughts over the course of the ongoing pandemic and relate their research perspective to autoethnographic and biographical approaches to "crisis narratives." As scholars and citizens, they share vulnerable moments of uncertainty - what we don't know and will not know - and draw on past collective experiences. What did we learn from the Spanish flu? How well do experts and journalists really understand what those numbers are supposed to signify? How unparalleled is the unprecedented experience for individuals who have experienced war, sieges, and previous pandemics? And finally, will we ever learn to live with the virus? The chapters shed light on ambiguities relating to us and the other, rational, and irrational approaches to navigating crises, and other ambivalences, without aiming to solve them. They investigate levels of the individual, academic work, and society and highlight stories of the unknown or yet-to-be known by making them accessible through thorough reflection, pushing back the all-too-simplified stories we hear in everyday discourses.
