Feminisms in the Air
One of the core contributions of a feminist analysis has been the examination of what was often an implicitly racialized gendering of a purported division between public and private; this work examines its relevance to the multiplicities of COVID-19.
Abstract
COVID-19 both is and isn’t the name of a virus; it is many histories, many bodies, many politics. It is also the name of differential bodily burdens, differential state resourcing, and differential state securitizations under terms that create bifurcations between care and murder. One of the core contributions of a feminist analysis has been the examination of what was often an implicitly racialized gendering of a purported division between public and private; I examine its relevance to the multiplicities of COVID-19.
