Originating in the popular Sociologia en Cuarantena blog, this
volume provides a detailed and multifaceted analysis of the social
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. This book originates in
the great upheaval caused by the COVID-19 pandemic when the
unprecedented announcement of global lockdowns paralysed the world
and put social relations on hold. In response, a loose collective
of sociologists, historians and philosophers from various Spanish
universities began to share their reflections on the pandemic on
the Sociologia en Cuarantena blog. This book takes some of those
thoughts and delves deeper into the recurring themes as they relate
to the Spanish experience of the pandemic. The chapters in the
first part of the book address the social and political context of
the various measures put in place by the government to deal with
the health, economic and social effects of the pandemic.
Subsequently, several chapters examine how the pandemic led to
important reflections on uncertainty and authority in processes of
scientific knowledge production. Other chapters analyse the effects
of the pandemic on demographics, the organisation of care, the
education system, the organisation of work and the recognition of
essential workers, immigration policies and the digitalisation of
society. Collectively, the contributions call into question the
narrative of exceptionalism that views the pandemic as a singular
event that is uniquely responsible for the present situation of
uncertainty and instability. They also draw attention to the
fragility of social prestige and trust in neglected and weakened
public institutions, as well as identifying a growing
socio-political polarisation that may be highly significant in the
future. This collection will appeal to students and researchers
with an interest in contemporary Spain and the socio-political
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
