ABSTRACT

The Covid-19 pandemic has upended life globally and turned the spotlight on the inadequacies of political systems and their infrastructural capacities to deal with the social fallout. Flaunting borders and checkpoints, the virus has been described as the great equalizer. However, the toll has been borne disproportionately by people of color, immigrants and the poor. The pandemic has exposed the fault lines of societies, exacerbated inequalities and gendered injustices are being reproduced in new registers and configurations. For feminist scholars committed to a politics of decoloniality, the critical task of unravelling a radically altered global environment requires a recalibrated re-turn to the framework of the transnational.

摘要

Covid-19 大流行已经颠覆了全球的生活，并使人们关注政治体系的不足及其应对社会影响的基础设施能力。病毒肆虐边境和检查站，被描述为伟大的均衡器。然而，有色人种、移民和穷人不成比例地承担了损失。大流行暴露了社会的断层线，加剧的不平等和性别不公正正在新的登记册和配置中重现。对于致力于非殖民主义政治的女权主义学者来说，解开一个彻底改变的全球环境的关键任务需要重新调整到跨国框架。
