Abstract

During the COVID-19 lockdown, as households were kept separate in a bid to contain the coronavirus, morally underpinned dynamics of fission and fusion occurred, privileging the ‘nuclear family’, which is taken here in two senses: the conventional social unit of a couple and their children, on the one hand, and the togetherness promoted by the nuclear industry in North West England, on the other. Whilst Sellafield’s Nuclear family fused with its host community in an outpouring of corporate kindness and volunteering, singles bereft of nuclear families were fissioned off from social life, which led to a corrective debate in the Netherlands. Drawing out analogies from a modest comparative perspective, I posit the nuclear family as a prism affording insights into the corporate, governmental and personal management of intimacy.

核心/核心家庭

在新冠肺炎封锁期间，由于家庭被隔离以遏制冠状病毒，道德上支持的裂变和融合动态发生了，“核心家庭”享有特权，这在两个意义上被视为：一方面是夫妇和孩子的传统社会单位，另一方面是英格兰西北部核工业促进的团结，另一方面。塞拉菲尔德的核心家庭与所在社区融合在一起，涌现出大量的企业善意和志愿服务，而失去核心家庭的单身人士则与社会生活脱节，这在荷兰引发了一场纠正性的辩论。从适度的比较角度进行类比，我认为核心家庭是一个棱镜，可以洞察企业、政府和个人对亲密关系的管理。

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.
