Abstract
In this paper I compare narratives representing the first Petrol Crises (1973) and the recent Financial Crisis (2008) in the German press. With a specific focus on the mantra-like phrase ‘growth generates prosperity’ I propose a mixed methods approach to large text corpora. The narratives unveiled with quantitative methods are interpreted on the text level applying topos-analysis and Laclau and Mouffe’s post-structuralist theory of hegemony.
