The fiction of normality has just been exposed by the coronavirus pandemic, so why are we constantly talking of a New Normal?
Normality was only ever a comfort blanket, and one which didn’t even stretch to cover all of those in our society who needed it.
How will we change through, and allow ourselves to be changed by, the crises of 2020 – and those future crises that surely await?
I’m so grateful to Spain’s Ministry of Culture and Sport, and the “Laboratorios Bibliotecarios” team, for hosting this discussion, and tolerating my imperfect Spanish in a really lively debate with Laia Sánchez Casals, Alicia Sellés Carot, Diego Gracia Sancho, and Javier Perez Iglesias.
You can watch the recording, in Spanish, here.
