Abstract

This paper examines social and economic disparities surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic within the context of neoliberal capitalism. The gendered, racialized, and other social inequities that were evident during this health crisis are linked to shifting work conditions and activities of labor and capital within the workplace and at the household level. The analysis draws from feminist economic geography to examine the social dimensions, spatial dynamics, and economic processes that are highlighted by changes in work and social relations during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussion demonstrates how economic upheavals such as those that occurred alongside the pandemic are embedded in social reproduction, with particular emphasis on the precarity of labor and contested household dynamics. Furthermore, ongoing crises in neoliberal capitalism provide the conditions for social movements that challenge inequities and oppressive conditions for labor. The conclusion offers strategies for future directions of work that support inclusive and transformative ideals of feminist economic geography.
转型工作:女性主义视角下的2019冠状病毒病危机和复苏
本文研究了新自由资本主义背景下围绕COVID-19大流行的社会和经济差异。在这次健康危机期间明显出现的性别、种族化和其他社会不平等,与工作条件的变化以及劳动和资本在工作场所和家庭一级的活动有关。该分析借鉴了女权主义经济地理学,考察了在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间和之后工作和社会关系的变化所突出的社会维度、空间动态和经济过程。讨论展示了与大流行同时发生的经济动荡如何嵌入到社会再生产中,特别强调了劳动力的不稳定性和有争议的家庭动态。此外,新自由主义资本主义的持续危机为挑战不平等和压迫劳工的社会运动提供了条件。结论为支持女性主义经济地理学的包容性和变革性理想的未来工作方向提供了策略。
