Summary/Abstract: In this article I study crisis as the ‘politics of others’ and through that attempt to sharpen a historiography of crisis centred on struggles by subalterned groups for meaningful lives. Analysing crisis may be an opportunity to look at the complex relations, politics and struggles that constitute large concepts – like, for example, capitalism. Crisis historiography thus is an opportunity to open up large concepts that can give rise to structural explanations of crisis, invisibilising politics and struggles, particularly those of sublaterned groups.
