Abstract:

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.
