This introduction addresses the increased levels of social, political and ideological polarization and the socio-political conflicts in contemporary Europe that are often subsumed under notions of ‘crisis’. We argue that the humanities and social sciences must react to these scenarios in at least two ways: by critically reflecting on the European project, and by analysing key elements of current ‘crisis’ discourses, such as post-factual narratives of ‘decline’, ‘survival’ and ‘emergency’, and populist fictions of homogeneous, ‘tribal’ cultural domains.

简介：欧洲危机

这篇介绍介绍了当代欧洲社会、政治和意识形态两极分化程度的增加以及社会政治冲突，这些冲突通常包含在“危机”的概念之下。我们认为人文和社会科学必须至少以两种方式对这些情景做出反应：通过批判性地反思欧洲项目，以及通过分析当前“危机”话语的关键要素，例如“衰退”的事后叙述， “生存”和“紧急情况”，以及同质、“部落”文化领域的民粹主义小说。
