Making Crises Visible/Invisible
Annual Conference of the Leibniz Research Alliance “Crises in a Globalised World”
Date: 12-13 December 2018
Venue: Leibniz Association, Chausseestraße 111, 10115 Berlin

The title of this conference Making Crises Visible/Invisible refers to the question of how to recognize, describe and analyse complex crises phenomena. As crises are always a result of a specific communication and perception in a competitive market of public attention, the mechanisms of their creation or disappearance are a factor of high relevance. The annual conference is aimed at all member institutes and members of the alliance as well as those academics or practitioners who are interested in crises research. The main goal is to present and to discuss the work of the alliance and to increase its visibility.
The title Making Crises Visible/Invisible might sound counterintuitive at first glance. Crises are usually understood as moments of challenge which force actors to take immediate action. Due to their inevitable and urgent character, crises are expected to be highly visible with the consequence that the mechanisms of making crises visible or invisible are scarcely investigated. However, zooming in on specific crisis-situations reveals that different actors emphasize or cover very different aspects of a crisis with consequences on how a crisis is being managed and solved.

Kind Regards,
