Pandemic Protagonists
During the first mandatory lockdowns of the Covid-19 pandemic, citizens worldwide turned to »pandemic fictions« or started to produce their own »Corona Fictions« across different media. These accounts of (previously) experienced or imagined health crises feature a great variety of protagonists and their (re)actions in response to the exceptional circumstances.

Sozialer Zusammenhalt in der Krise
Krisen verschärfen gesellschaftliche Problemlagen bzw. lassen diese besonders deutlich hervortreten. Zugleich werfen krisenbedingte Einschnitte in bisher selbstverständliche Gewohnheiten grundlegende Fragen zum Zusammenleben in modernen Staaten und zur Funktionsweise gesellschaftlicher Institutionen auf. Vor dem Hintergrund der Corona-Pandemie leuchten die Beiträger*innen des Bandes das Thema der gesellschaftlichen Kohäsion in Krisenzeiten aus unterschiedlichen Fachrichtungen näher aus. Sie diskutieren nicht nur grundlegende sozialtheoretische Fragen und empirische Forschungsergebnisse zum Thema, sondern analysieren auch Handlungsansätze der Solidarisierung in Zeiten der Krise.

The analyzed corpus comprises scenes taken from Venice the Series (2009) and its backstory »Otalia« on the soap opera Guiding Light (1952-2009), Seeking Simone (2009), Out With Dad (2010), Féminin/ Féminin (2014), Chica Busca Chica (2007) and its cinematic sequel De Chica En Chica (2015), as well as Notas Aparte (2016).
