520 |a Comfort is a prominent and highly loaded concept, as popular discourses on cozy environments, safe spaces, but also the importance of getting out of your comfort zone attest. This volume is the first to investigate comfort as a cultural narrative and emotional touchstone in contemporary culture.

They showcase how comfort serves as a valuable lens to analyze contemporary artworks and developments, e.g. live theatre broadcasting or political interventions in the US-American media sphere.
