Description

The project tackles narrative coping strategies developed in quarantine or lockdown experiences. Objects of investigation are German and international TV-series reflecting social distancing and 'stay at home order' during the Corona Pandemic. The goal is to observe discourse formation and to investigate possibilities of interruption of discourses so that the future governing historical narrative of the Corona experience does not remain only the narrative of the governing.
