Abstract
Interregnum is that moment of crisis in society wherein forces of dislocation and disruption cause, or at least open space for, the potential collapse or reorganization of hegemonic order, the space of the not-yet and, as such, epistemically opaque. It is this image which perhaps best captures those early and unsettling days of the pandemic: moments and spaces which I now attempt to represent herein through selected meditations on everyday life. These meditations—or traces as I see them now, were initially written in the spring and summer of 2020. I resurrect them in a world meaningfully distinct from that of those first weeks, a world all too similar still.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
