In the Realm of Corona Normativities: A Momentary Snapshot of a Dynamic Discourse (Recht als Kultur Bd. 23)

This volume shows the results a cultural studies perspective on the pandemic crisis may yield in the light of the law-as-culture paradigm. The diversity of the disciplines practiced at the Kate Hamburger Kolleg "Law as Culture" as well as the internationality of its fellows and fellow campaigners contribute to directing the normative and legal analysis developed at the Kolleg towards phenomena which at the same time provide us with a unique laboratory for the "condition humaine".

Werner Gephart: Conclusion About the Authors La 4e de couverture indique : "Corona Normativities provides a series of snapshots of the pandemic experience. As this phenomenon is global in nature, the contributors come from all over the world. Fellows, both past and present, and researchers from various disciplines, are associated with the Käte Hamburger Center "Law as Culture". They share the conviction that the normative dimension of social life plays a special role in the pandemic experience: just as in archaic societies the observance of rules of purity were seen as a means of attaining salvation, the observance of hygiene rules has become the decisive means of healing the world from the evil of Covid-19. The constitution of this normative regimen and this belief in regulation in a state of emergency is of specific interest as a particular type of a pandemic validity culture. In what way does it reflect the gruelling normative rhythm that oscillates between freezing social life and opening it up but without relief and with a persisting basic mood of insecurity? Scrutiny of the crisis and its normative dynamics are key to better understanding the pandemic. The contributors to this timely volume desist from the nonsensical disputation of medical expertise, and emphasize the inherent dynamics of moral, legal, ethical, convention-like rules, as well as mores and manners, in the weird and uncanny realm of the normative." This volume shows the results a cultural studies perspective on the pandemic crisis may yield in the light of the law-as-culture paradigm. The diversity of the disciplines practiced at the Käte Hamburger Kolleg "Law as Culture" as well as the internationality of its fellows and fellow campaigners contribute to directing the normative and legal analysis developed at the Kolleg towards phenomena which at the same time provide us with a unique laboratory for the "condition humaine".
