Abstract

This article examines the transformation of singledom during the COVID-19 pan-demic, scrutinising the impact of rules and regulations governing proximity, touch and sex I focus on government responses in Australia, situating the nation’s experience in a global con-text National discussions were strangely sexless, presuming widespread coupledom and em-phasising the lost, non-sexual intimacies of families and older people I contrast this to broader theoretical claims of a ‘transformation of intimacy’ that posit a move to atomised relations across the Global North, including a growing tendency towards singledom Yet assumptions of coupledom clearly persist in Australian policy and social life I reflect on transformations of singledom and living alone during and prior to the pandemic, exposing tensions between theorisations, local realities, and the governance of sex and singledom © The Author(s)

这篇文章探讨了新冠肺炎大流行期间单身的转变,仔细研究了关于亲近、触摸和性的规则和规定的影响。我将重点放在澳大利亚政府的应对措施上,将该国的经验放在全球范围内,家庭和老年人的非性亲密关系我将其与更广泛的“亲密关系转变”的理论主张进行了对比,该理论主张在全球北方向原子化关系转变,包括越来越倾向于单身。然而,澳大利亚政策和社会生活中明显存在着对夫妻关系的假设。我反思了疫情期间和之前单身和独居的转变,暴露了理论、当地现实以及性和单身管理之间的紧张关系©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.
