Abstract The contours of this article, written as a dialogue between two authors, one in Australia (Westoby) and one in South Africa (Harris), outline a Derridean deconstruction of community development ‘yet-to-come’ during and post coronavirus disease 2019. Reflecting on our two countries’ experiences, drawing on theorists such as Zuboff (surveillance capitalism), Freire (critical literacy), Foucault (biopower), Escobar (pluriversality) and Berardi (semio-capitalism), we argue for transformational critical digital literacy work that enables greater community awareness of the consequences of digital lives and also transformative praxis. Riffing off many experiences that readers will be familiar with (lockdown, social distancing, tracing apps, virtual meetings and so on), the dialogue also suggests a soulful community development yet-to-come, foregrounding embodied lives, slowness, place, relationality and connection.

COVID-19 大流行期间和之后的社区发展“尚未到来”：从德里达到祖博夫

摘要 本文的轮廓是两位作者之间的对话，一位在澳大利亚 (Westoby)，一位在南非 (Harris)，概述了德里德式对 2019 年冠状病毒病期间和之后“尚未到来”的社区发展的解构. 反思我们两国的经验，借鉴 Zuboff（监视资本主义）、Freire（批判性素养）、Foucault（生物权力）、Escobar（多元性）和 Berardi（半资本主义）等理论家，我们主张变革性批判性数字素养使社区更加了解数字生活的后果以及变革性实践的工作。借鉴读者熟悉的许多体验（封锁、社交距离、追踪应用程序、虚拟会议等），对话还暗示了一个尚未到来的深情社区发展，
