This volume brings together academics, activists, social work
practitioners, poets, and artists from different parts of the world
during the Covid-19 pandemic. It sheds light on how the pandemic
has exposed the inequities in society and is shaping social
institutions, affecting human relationships, and creating new norms
with each passing day. It examines how people from diverse
societies and fields of work have come to conceptualise and imagine
a new world order based on the principles of social and ecological
justice, care, and human dignity. It prioritises the realm of
imagination, creativity, and affect in understanding social
formations and in shaping societies beyond the positivist
approaches. Documenting the myriad experiences and responses to the
pandemic, the volume foregrounds varied processes of making
meaning; understanding impulses, resistances, and coping
mechanisms; and building solidarities. Further, it also acts as a
tool of memory for future generations, and articulations- artistic,
political, socio-cultural, scientific- of hope and perseverance.
This spectrum of expressions intends to value visceral experiences,
build solidarities, and find solace in art. Its uniqueness lies in
the way it brings together a much-needed interface between science,
social sciences, and humanities. A compelling account on our
contemporary lives, the volume will be of great interest to
scholars of sociology and social anthropology, politics, art and
aesthetics, psychology, social work, literature, health, and
medical sciences.
