| Zusammenfassung: | "Written amidst the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this edited volume draws on the expertise of social scientists and humanities scholars to understand the several ramifications of Covid-19 in societies, politics, and the economies of Africa. The contributors examine measures, communicative practices, and experiences that have guided the (inter)action of governments, societies and citizens in this unpredictable moment. Covid-19 tested governments' disaster preparedness as well as exposed governments' attitudes towards the poor and vulnerable. In the same vein, it also tested the agency of the generality of the African populace in the face of containment measures and how these impacted on everyday social, cultural and economic practices of the ordinary peoples. In this vein, our concern is to understand the relationship between growing vulnerability on the one hand and ingenuity of agency on the other, and how both were embodied, narrated and discoursed by the African poor, university students, religious entities, and middle-classes, and those that bore the major brunt of the lockdowns. The volume is thus a useful resource for scholars of Africa, policy makers and those who want to understand Covid-19 in Africa. It provides a multiplicity of perspectives of the pandemic and African responses at different levels of society, economy and the political spectrum. The continental focus of this volume gives room for broader comparative analyses. Lastly, this interdisciplinary work benefits from the input of medical historians, anthropologists, sociologists, linguists, political scientists, literature scholars, urban planners, geographers and others." -- |

From colonial violence to bare life in South Africa: sexual violence and care ethics during the Covid-19 pandemic / Amanda Gouws -- Index "Written amidst the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this edited volume draws on the expertise of social scientists and humanities scholars to understand the several ramifications of Covid-19 in societies, politics, and the economies of Africa. The contributors examine measures, communicative practices, and experiences that have guided the (inter)action of governments, societies and citizens in this unpredictable moment. Covid-19 tested governments' disaster preparedness as well as exposed governments' attitudes towards the poor and vulnerable. In the same vein, it also tested the agency of the generality of the African populace in the face of containment measures and how these impacted on everyday social, cultural and economic practices of the ordinary peoples. In this vein, our concern is to understand the relationship between growing vulnerability on the one hand and ingenuity of agency on the other, and how both were embodied, narrated and discoursed by the African poor, university students, religious entities, and middle-classes, and those that bore the major brunt of the lockdowns. The volume is thus a useful resource for scholars of Africa, policy makers and those who want to understand Covid-19 in Africa. It provides a multiplicity of perspectives of the pandemic and African responses at different levels of society, economy and the political spectrum. The continental focus of this volume gives room for broader comparative analyses. Lastly, this interdisciplinary work benefits from the input of medical historians, anthropologists, sociologists, linguists, political scientists, literature scholars, urban planners, geographers and others." -- Auswirkung (DE-588)4112646-4 gnd rswk-swf COVID-19 (DE-588)1206347392 gnd rswk-swf Epidemie (DE-588)4137380-7 gnd rswk-swf Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 gnd rswk-swf Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 gnd rswk-swf Africa (DE-588)4084774-3 gnd rswk-swf COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- / Social aspects / Africa COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- / Economic aspects / Africa Pandémie de COVID-19, 2020- / Aspect social / Afrique Pandémie de COVID-19, 2020- / Aspect économique / Afrique Informational works Documents d'information Africa (DE-588)4084774-3 g Epidemie (DE-588)4137380-7 s COVID-19 (DE-588)1206347392 s Gesellschaft (DE-588)4020588-5 s Auswirkung (DE-588)4112646-4 s Sozialer Wandel (DE-588)4077587-2 s DE-604 Arndt, Susan 1967- (DE-588)122213351 edt Msindo, Enocent (DE-588)102621243X edt Simatei, Peter (DE-588)1300874651 edt Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-3-031-40316-3 |
