在这项研究中,我们对英国成年人群的定性调查数据进行了详细分析,日本和墨西哥将解决以下问题:COVID-19大流行如何改变了人们对身体的生活体验,其他人的身体和世界?我们确定了五个主题:(i)恐惧和危险,(ii)身体怀疑和高度警惕,(iii)风险与信任,(四)适应和持久;(五)视角的变化。我们使用两个理论框架:第一,玛丽·道格拉斯\'关于纯洁的人类学工作,风险,危险和象征意义被用来理解在大流行期间身体上的社会和文化含义是如何变化的。第二,我们使用HaviCarel开发的身体怀疑的概念来解释人们在大流行期间如何以不同的方式体验他们的身体和其他人的身体。虽然我们认识到人们对大流行的具体经历的巨大差异,我们的研究结果表明,存在跨越不同国家和文化的共同点。具体来说,我们关注对COVID-19保护性对策的反应,如国家封锁和身体疏远,我们认为这些措施降低了人们对自己身体的信心,信任他人,信任政治领导。最后,我们提出,在COVID-19大流行期间,我们的生活经历发生了变化,促使人们重新关注人们认为生活中重要的事情,道德,文化和政治观点。
In this study, we conduct a detailed analysis of qualitative survey data focusing on adult populations in the UK, Japan and Mexico to address the following question: How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed people\'s lived experience of their bodies, other people\'s bodies and the world? We identify five themes: (i) fear and danger, (ii) bodily doubt and hypervigilance, (iii) risk and trust, (iv) adapting and enduring and (v) changes in perspective. We use two theoretical frameworks: first, Mary Douglas\' anthropological work on purity, risk, danger and symbolism is applied to understand how social and cultural meanings attached to the body have changed during the pandemic. Second, we use the concept of bodily doubt developed by Havi Carel to interpret how people experience their bodies and other people\'s bodies differently during the pandemic. While we recognise the significant variation in people\'s embodied experience of the pandemic, our findings suggest there are commonalities that span different countries and cultures. Specifically, we look at responses to COVID-19 protective countermeasures such as national lockdowns and physical distancing which we suggest have reduced people\'s ability to put faith in their own bodies, trust other people and trust the political leadership. We conclude by proposing that the changes to our lived experience during the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted changes in perspective and a renewed focus on what people consider important in life from a social, moral, cultural and political point of view.
