"This book provides a timely autoethnography tracing the spread of the novel coronavirus, now known as Covid-19, as it emerged and travelled across the world. Following the virus in real time, it explores the fears, risks and responses to the global pandemic, and how it has shaped our everyday lives against the backdrop of the growing climate crisis. Social theorist Victor Jeleniewski Seidler discusses fundamental questions of inequality and injustice regarding race, class and gender that the pandemic has made visible, through the differing risks, vulnerabilities and protections provided by legislative measures. Situated across disciplinary boundaries, the text investigates values, ethics, responsibilities and uncertain futures created by the global health crisis, analysing media and communications strategies and government responses from the UK, and comparing them with political communications around the world. Throughout the book questions are raised around anticipating the pandemic, drawing on cultural histories and experiences in its critical analysis. In its conclusion it connects the global impacts of Covid-19 to the climate emergency and reveals how we are responsible for shaping new economic, political and ecological imaginations that focus on sustainability in planetary terms. This wide-reaching volume will appeal to a broad academic readership in environmental studies, health studies, cultural studies, sociology, gender studies, media and communication"--

This timely and powerful autoethnography traces the spread of and responses to Covid-19: from the uncertainty surrounding its outbreak, to its devastating and continued aftermath. Following the virus in real time, it explores the fears, risks and responses to the global pandemic, and how it has shaped our everyday lives against the backdrop of social and political upheaval, and the looming climate crisis. Social theorist and moral philosopher, Victor Jeleniewski Seidler, discusses fundamental questions of inequality and injustice regarding race, class and gender brought to the fore by the visibility of varying risk levels, vulnerabilities and protections provided by legislative measures against the virus. This interdisciplinary analysis scrutinises values, ethics, responsibilities and uncertain futures formed by the global health crisis, and evaluates media and communications strategies, government responses and political communications at domestic and international levels. Seidler shares critical insights into the cultural history of pandemics, highlighting lessons to be learned from anticipating, preparing for and enduring moments of crisis. Perceiving how the pandemic and climate emergency are interwoven, the book concludes with an urgent call to rebuild sustainable economic, political and ecological imaginations. This wide-reaching volume will appeal to a broad academic readership in environmental studies, sociology, philosophy, health studies, cultural studies, gender studies, media and communication.
