Literary works play a crucial role in modelling and conceptualising temporalities. This becomes particularly apparent in times of crises, which put conventionalised temporal patterns and routines under pressure. During crises, past, present, and future appear to collapse into each other and give way to temporal disjunction and rupture. Offering pluralised and context-sensitive approaches to temporalities in and of crises, this volume explores how literature’s engagement with crises suggests both the need for and possibility of rethinking ‘time’. The volume is committed to examining the affordances of specific genres and their potential in pointing beyond temporalities of crises to facilitate a sense of futurity. Individual essays are grounded in recent theories of temporality and literary form, which are related to novel advancements in ecocriticism, queer studies, affect theory, and postcolonial studies. The chapters cover a broad range of examples from different literary genres to reveal the knowledge of literature about temporalities in and of crises.

Dem Absurden ins Auge sehen - das ist eine Herausforderung, die mit Entzweiung, Entfremdung und demzufolge mit großer Anspannung und Anstrengung einhergeht. In solchen Momenten entgleitet uns die Welt und wir stehen, so Albert Camus, vor der alles entscheidenden Frage: Selbstmord oder Freiheit. Der vorliegende Band verhandelt Bedrohungen und Gefahren ebenso wie Potenziale und Freiheiten des Absurden. Stimmen aus Philosophie, Erziehungswissenschaft, Literatur, Kunst, Medizin und Wirtschaftswissenschaft machen dabei deutlich: Das Absurde betrifft uns alle.
In Anbetracht der hohen Dunkelziffer bei sexuellem Missbrauch untersucht Laura Böckmann Loyalität als Parteilichkeitsmoral und diskutiert, inwiefern loyale Bindungen als Motiv für das Schweigen bzw. Nichteingreifen des sozialen Umfelds von Täter und Opfer in Frage kommen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf Loyalitäten von Fachkräften und Lehrer*innen in (sozial-)pädagogischen Institutionen. Die Frage nach Bedingungen des Sprechens oder Schweigens über Gewalt eröffnet dabei eine spezifische Perspektive auf den legitimatorischen Kontext (sozial-)pädagogischen Handelns.
