Times in Crisis, Times of Crisis: The Temporalities of Europe in Polycrisis

3 October 2024

Daniel M. Knight has received a grant of 1.5m euros from the Humanities in the European Research Area - Collaboration of Humanities and Social Science in Europe (HERA-CHANSE) scheme for a project on Times in Crisis, Times of Crisis: The Temporalities of Europe in Polycrisis (TiCToC).

The project explores what it means to live in times of crisis, how crisis changes over time, and the merits of the popularized polycrisis trope. TiCToC will run for 36 months and include partner institutions in Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Norway and Slovenia, as well as engaging with 6 non-academic partners in the realm of film, theatre, museum and archival work. Ten projects were awarded by HERA-CHANSE, with a success rate a little above 4%.
