Abstract

During the COVID-19 crisis, living in lockdown and observing social distancing rules have become an integral part of everyday life In this article, I offer some auto-ethnographic reflections on the increased use of ICTs within families and particularly across generations Using vignettes relating to communication with my one-year-old granddaughter and my 92-year-old mother, I consider what it means to have the haptic dimensions of kinship relations stripped out and replaced by technologically mediated connection By way of conclu-sion, I consider the relationship between the ‘magic’ of ICTs in interpersonal communication on the one hand and Marshall Sahlins’ notion of mutuality on the other © The Author(s)

触觉中介

在新冠肺炎危机期间，在封锁中生活和遵守社交距离规则已成为日常生活的一个组成部分。在这篇文章中，我对家庭内，尤其是几代人之间越来越多地使用信息和通信技术进行了一些自图思考，我认为亲情关系的触觉维度被技术中介的联系所取代意味着什么。作为结论，我一方面考虑了人际沟通中信息通信技术的“魔力”与Marshall Sahlins的相互性概念之间的关系。©作者

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
