Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, the very essence of life and death has captured the world's attention. The terms associated with this global pandemic are numerous and diverse, including COVID-19 response, frontline work, genocidal pandemic, lockdown, mask mandate, shadow pandemic, social distancing, vaccine wars, and virus racism. In her insightful work, Elke Krasny offers a feminist mapping of these key terms and key images that shape the pandemicscape. Drawing from a wide range of sources such as media coverage, policy statements by the WHO, the UN, and the IMF, recommendations from NGOs and feminist organizations, as well as artistic depictions in photography and painting, Krasny explores the multifaceted perspectives on care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe challenges the notion of simply returning to normalcy and proposes a new global international care order. Through her analysis, Krasny highlights the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings and the need for collective action to address the challenges posed by the pandemic. She advocates for a redistribution of resources, the prioritization of healthcare workers, and the creation of sustainable and equitable systems of care that prioritize the well-being of all individuals and communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiving with an infected planet has indeed led to an unprecedented crisis of care, but Krasny's work offers a hopeful vision for a better future. By embracing a feminist perspective and advocating for a new global international care order, we can work towards a world where the well-being and dignity of all individuals are upheld, regardless of their location or circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 370g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 146 x 225 x 18 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783837659153\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elke Krasny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44310031433978,"sku":"9783837659153","price":28.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688124859814_book.jpg?v=1688198437","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/living-with-an-infected-planet-covid19-feminism-and-the-global-frontline-of-care-9783837659153","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
