This book presents the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to
re-assess the neoliberal politics, xenophobia, and racism that have
undermined community cohesion in the United Kingdom since 1979, and
which have continued largely unchecked through the last four
decades Guided by three interconnected ideas used throughout to
scrutinise the meaning of culture as a way of life - Raymond
Williams' structure of feeling, Stuart Hall's conception of the
conjuncture, and Chantal Mouffe's agonistic pluralism - Sarah
Lowndes finds that a renewed sense of mutual regard and collective
responsibility are necessary to meet the unprecedented challenges
of the COVID-19 pandemic She begins by reflecting on public
gatherings in Britain from 1945 to 2019, moving on to analyse five
key examples of public gatherings affected by the pandemic 2020
onwards: Chinese New Year, the UEFA Champion's League Final, VE Day
street parties, Black Lives Matter demonstrations, and the
cancellation of Eid Ul-Adha celebrations A thorough examination of
how ideas proliferate and spread through our society, public
sphere, and collective consciousness, this book will appeal to
scholars and upper-level students of cultural studies, cultural
history, sociology, and politics
