CGC researchers contribute to new issue of Tidsskriftet Antropologi
Several researchers from the Center for Global Criminology contribute to the latest issue of Tidsskriftet Antropologi, titled “Kriser I” (ed: Crises I) – the first of two special issues on crises. The issue examines how crisis as a phenomenon increasingly takes a central place in anthropology – not only as an acute rupture, but also as long-term and complex processes that shape social lives and communities.
Center director Henrik Vigh and CGC colleagues Anja Simonsen, Atreyee Sen, and Julie Nygaard Solvang demonstrate across their articles how crises spread, escalate, and change form, making them difficult to delimit. Drawing on ethnographic research among people living with crises, they show that crises can take multiple temporalities and trajectories, and that we must understand them both as sudden ruptures and as chronic conditions.
The guest editors emphasize that anthropology holds a unique capacity to capture these complexities: to investigate crises in depth, to embrace their diversity, and to communicate insights in ways that reach beyond the university.
