• Sommario/riassunto: Janina Klingelhöfer's work explores the development of the scientific field of crisis communication through a qualitative lens. Utilizing Bourdieu's field analysis combined with Foucault's discourse analysis, the study investigates how the field has evolved, highlighting its social and intellectual dimensions. The research addresses the establishment of crisis communication as a discipline, focusing on significant milestones such as academic conferences, research groups, and scholarly publications. The book aims to fill a gap in literature by detailing the historical progression and social context that have shaped the field. It is intended for scholars and researchers interested in crisis communication, media studies, and the sociology of knowledge.
