Abstract

ABSTRACT The conversations collected in this Special Section speak to the events and upheavals of 2020 and the political climate that led up to these events, particularly focusing on the shifting emphasis on emotion in politics that emerged in so-called ‘post-truth’ discourse. The Covid-19 pandemic was initially hailed as a unifying experience, but this conception quickly shattered as the unequal effects of the pandemic were made visible. At the same time, the highly publicized police murder of George Floyd and other black Americans incited mass uprisings. The conversations collected here open up a series of critical forays of thought concerning the long year of 2020 and the inequalities and crises it made undeniably visible.

影响、抗议、流行病:来自2020年危机的对话

本专题收集的对话讲述了2020年的事件和动荡，以及导致这些事件的政治气候，特别关注所谓的“后真相”话语中出现的对政治情感的重视转变。Covid-19大流行最初被誉为一次统一的经历，但随着大流行的不平等影响显现出来，这种观念很快就破灭了。与此同时，警察谋杀乔治·弗洛伊德和其他美国黑人的事件被高度曝光，引发了大规模的起义。这里收集的对话开启了一系列关于漫长的2020年以及不可否认的不平等和危机的批判性思考。

期刊介绍： Cultural Studies is an international journal which explores the relation between cultural practices, everyday life, material, economic, political, geographical and historical contexts. It fosters more open analytic, critical and political conversations by encouraging people to push the dialogue into fresh, uncharted territory. It also aims to intervene in the processes by which the existing techniques, institutions and structures of power are reproduced, resisted and transformed. Cultural Studies understands the term "culture" inclusively rather than exclusively, and publishes essays which encourage significant intellectual and political experimentation, intervention and dialogue.
