From
–
Dieter Thomä’s project on dissent and deviation in times of crisis aims at developing a typology of critical and anti-critical ways of dealing with crises. People may act as troublemakers experimenting with life-forms or building a new order. They may also use anomy for willfully pursuing their own benefit or for establishing a community immune to criticism.
