This book centers on negotiations around cultural, governmental,
and individual constructions of COVID-19. It considers how the
coronavirus pandemic has been negotiated in different cultures and
countries, with the final part of the volume focusing on South Asia
and Pakistan in particular. The chapters include auto-ethnographic
accounts and ethnographic explorations that reflect upon
experiences of living with the pandemic and its implications for
all areas of life. The book explicates people’s dealings with
COVID-19 at various levels, situates the spread of rumors,
conspiracy theories, and new social rituals within micro- and/or
macro-contexts, and describes the interplay between the virus and
various institutionalized forms of inequalities and structural
vulnerabilities. Bringing together a variety of perspectives, the
volume relates to the past, describes the Covidian present, and
offers futuristic implications. It enlists distinct imaginaries
based on current understandings of an extraordinary challenge that
holds significant importance for our human future.
