Summary
This conference will focus on one decisive discursive scheme of modern disaster discourse, namely the state of exception. In recent years, the collapse of legal structures has been a prominent theme in legal studies (Gross, Dyzenhaus, Sarat, etc.) as well as in the cultural studies (Agamben, Hardt & Negri, Santner, etc.). Until now, however, there has been no effort to unite the legal and the cultural studies approach on the field of disaster research. This is the task of the cross-disciplinary conference "Imagining Chaos – The State of Exception in Law and Fiction".
