Abstract

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way we imagine and experience our bodily boundaries. While previously we may have believed our body to be discrete and bounded by our skin, the latest medical advice has awakened us to the porous nature of our bodies. The virus, we have learnt, may enter our body through our mouths, nose and eyeballs via the surfaces that we touch and through the air that we breathe. In this article, I employ auto-ethnographic reflections and recent media coverage to argue that this new corporeal intimacy has both produced and revealed new and latent experiences of disgust and violence.

多孔体

冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行改变了我们想象和体验身体边界的方式。虽然以前我们可能认为我们的身体是离散的，被皮肤包围着，但最新的医学建议让我们意识到我们身体的多孔性。我们已经了解到，这种病毒可能通过我们接触的表面和呼吸的空气，通过口、鼻和眼球进入我们的身体。在这篇文章中，我运用自我民族志的反思和最近的媒体报道来论证这种新的身体亲密关系既产生又揭示了新的和潜在的厌恶和暴力体验。

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.
