The contributions to this volume show how various actors reacted to this pandemic through specific forms of representation and storytelling in popular culture, public discourse, and science communication. They demonstrate how these representations both leverage new media and resort to familiar scripts and characters to make sense of the situation. Thus, they uncover the transformative potential of narratives about epi-/pandemics across different domains and their contribution to the production of knowledge as well as the recalibration of norms and values. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture$2bisacsh 610 $aCOVID-19. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aCulture. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aMedia. 610 $aPandemic. 610 $aSociety. 610 $aSociology of Culture. 610 $aStorytelling. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. 700 $aButler$b Martin$0142053 701 $aFarzin$b Sina$0626685 701 $aFuchs$b Michael$0500160 701 $aHempel$b Fabian$01791403 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996659456903316 996 $aComing to Terms with a Crisis$94328773 997 $aUNISA
