Abstract

The final chapter brings the chapters together and discusses the red threads and lessons learned from the various chapters and case studies. In particular, it summarizes the observations and findings from the various empirical contributions in the book and synthesizes these contributions into new understandings of absurdity, the abnormal, and its normalization. The chapter also engages with the personal reflections of the authors writing the book and developing the ideas presented in the book. It discusses ways forward, including research that can be conducted in the future on the basis of the book, as well as more practical interventions and work that can be designed on the basis of the theorizing and analysis of absurdity and hypernormalization.
