Corona überleben: Die Figur der:s Überlebende:n als Trägerin von Hoffnung und Angst in den Politiken einer Krise im Werden [Surviving Corona: The figure of the survivor as bearer of hope and fear in the politics of an emerging crisis]

The chapter traces the figure of the 'Corona Survivor' across various media formats and during the period of the pandemic from March 2020 to August 2021. It analyzes the knowledge politics during the Corona crisis at the example of three performances of the 'Corona survivor' by prominent and ordinary people and based on Donna Haraway's feminist approach to practices of knowledge production. In doing so, it shows how the figure of the 'Corona Survivor' functions as a bearer of both hope and fear that interweaves several narrative threads to construct the Corona crisis as a story of survival.
