This collected book analyzes the phenomenon of crisis manifested
across various historical periods. It offers unique, multifaceted,
and interdisciplinary perspectives on the issues of crises and
finds numerous applications in the fields of literature,
linguistics, advertising, photography, and foreign language
teaching. The collection is divided into two parts. The chapters in
its first part analyze literature and language: from medieval
England to cultural changes in America occurring under the
influence of the transformation caused by the propagation of print
culture. The incisive commentaries consider the works of culture
that span not only literature but also film. They reveal how much
we can learn by considering how past generations perceived reality
in times of crisis. The second part of the book contains chapters,
which examine texts related to contemporary crises expressed in the
visual media of advertising and photography, but also in foreign
language teaching. As the authors show, both ads and
non-commercial, socially engaged photographs can influence the
viewer in a swift and impactful manner by conveying messages of
great social importance. The authors convincingly that argue both
photographs and ads can be used for social benefit by visualizing
even the unpleasant or shocking sides of reality. Finally, the
notion of crisis experienced by students of English as a foreign
language is analyzed and supplemented by research which may prove
useful for researchers and practitioners alike.
