Abstract [en]

This concluding chapter reflects on the knowledge drawn from the multidisciplinary examination of the twenty-first-century discourses of fear and anxiety in the European context relating to the intertwined narratives of crises that characterise the first two decades of the century. The analysis considers how key terms relating to current perceptions of crisis—permacrisis, polycrisis, and metacrisis—are entwined, while still pointing to certain unique aspects that often relate to, on the one hand, the degree of complexity of how crisis is defined and, on the other, how narratives of crisis shape and are shaped by the “affective atmospheres” (Anderson, 2009) in which they unfold. This chapter considers how the culture of fear and anxiety and its emotional responses have extended beyond scholarly and political considerations to be pervasive in the public domain. In line with recent theoretical and scholarly considerations, this chapter propounds that complex, interrelated disciplinary approaches are required to confront the societal, individual and emotional challenges posed by the socioecological crisis and its myriad consequences. Such an approach is propounded as being most effective in developing a culture of solidarity and resilience, as the basis to navigate the current challenges without being overpowered by the culture of fear in the purported “age of anxiety.”
