Multilingual Narratives of a Pandemic: Covid 19 and Worldmaking

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

'Worldmaking in the Time of COVID-19', the project that informs this book, was an early response to the experience of living through the COVID-19 pandemic - intended as a contribution to our collective understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following comparison and analysis of over 1.1 million news articles from 117 countries in twelve different languages, this timely reflection follows the course of this investigation, with three main objectives:

to capture the languages of the early pandemic (January-April 2020);
to offer a transferable methodology for exploring world events in multiple languages;
and to share some of the key findings of researchers.
