Over the last five years, the word ‘emergency’ has been a recurrent term in different domains of human culture and activities. However, this is more than a grim picture on the many critical issues that our societies nowadays need to face. Sergio Altomonte (Université catholique de Louvain) offers a positive interpretation of this state of ‘emergency’, moving forward from its common understanding as ‘an unexpected and difficult or dangerous situation […] which requires quick action.’
