ABSTRACT

This article is based on research conducted in Colorado in late-2019 and again post-COVID outbreak, from April through May of 2020. In addition to (virtual) face-to-face interviews, the study used a GPS tracking app to map respondents’ macromobilities – trips from one GPS coordinate to another. The data presented are informed by practice theory. The paper’s findings focus on the themes of competencies, moralities, and mobilities. Gender proved a particularly significant variable for disentangling the diversity and contingency involved in the social effects of the pandemic, while also stressing the continuities of practice for some, and disruptions for others.

摘要

本文基于 2019 年末和 2020 年 4 月至 5 月在科罗拉多州和 COVID 爆发后进行的研究。除了（虚拟）面对面访谈外，该研究还使用 GPS 跟踪应用程序来绘制受访者地图' 宏观机动性——从一个 GPS 坐标到另一个坐标的行程。所提供的数据来自实践理论。该论文的研究结果集中在能力、道德和流动性等主题上。事实证明，性别是一个特别重要的变量，可以解开大流行的社会影响所涉及的多样性和偶然性，同时也强调了某些人的实践连续性和其他人的中断。
