Abstract

This article examines the connections between solidarity and social esteem for unpaid care. Focusing on the moral emotions experienced by unpaid carers during the UK’s COVID-19 pandemic, the implications for the social value accorded to care are considered. Analysis focuses on 32 qualitative interviews with 25 family carers in Northern Ireland during 2020 and 2021. Conceiving of solidarity as a norm whose strength and reach can be gauged through emotional experience, the article argues that unpaid carers’ perceptions of general indifference to caregiving indicate the weakness of democratic solidarity in this neoliberal context, with significant consequences for access to social esteem.

本文探讨了无偿照护的团结与社会尊重之间的联系。文章以英国 COVID-19 大流行期间无酬照护者所经历的道德情感为重点，探讨了给予照护的社会价值的影响。分析侧重于 2020 年和 2021 年期间对北爱尔兰 25 位家庭照护者进行的 32 次定性访谈。文章认为，团结是一种规范，其强度和范围可通过情感体验来衡量。文章认为，无酬照护者对照护工作普遍漠不关心的看法表明，在这种新自由主义背景下，民主团结的力量薄弱，这对获得社会尊重产生了重大影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
