摘要

摘要这篇短文讲述了艺术家、活动家和哀悼者为纪念在新冠肺炎大流行期间去世的人们所做的努力。这些纪念场所为身体缺席、政治机会主义和统计抽象提供了必要的纠正措施，这些往往将疫情拟人化。与艾滋病纪念被子一样，在关于这些展示的对话中，个人主义和触觉的比喻经常出现。尽管这些纪念馆具有生成性的冲动，但这些创作必须超越感情用事的表演姿态，以确保反科学和极右翼运动造成的公民痛苦不会重演。

Mourning and memorializing in the COVID-19 era

ABSTRACT This short essay engages the efforts of artists, activists, and mourners to memorialize those who have died during the COVID-19 pandemic. These commemorative sites provide needed correctives to the physical absences, political opportunism, and statistical abstractions that have tended to personify the pandemic. As with the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the tropes of individualism and tactility materialize frequently in conversations about these displays. Despite the generative impulses of these memorials, it is imperative that these creations move beyond performative gestures of sentimentality to ensure that the civic agony inflicted by anti-science and far-right movements is not repeated.
