摘要

在本文中,我们研究了在COVID-19的前十个月里,英国“前线”隐喻的多重含义。我们认为,“一线”一词作为一种行为框架发挥了作用,这有助于产生“COVID-19一线”和关键工作者的概念和实体化。为了展示英国政府是如何反复引用这个比喻的,我们概述了它通过高度可见性和不透明的相互作用所产生的矛盾影响。“前线”的比喻被用来为政府向经济注入大量公共资金辩护,让以前不为人所见的工人变得超级显眼,同时产生一种公民责任感。然而,与此同时,这个比喻为腐败行为制造了烟幕,将人们的注意力从资源匮乏的卫生和社会保健基础设施上转移开,并加剧了“日常边界”和“日常种族主义”的形式,加深了英国的结构性不公正。©2021冥王星期刊。版权所有。

The Frontline as Performative Frame: An Analysis of the UK COVID Crisis
In this paper, we examine the multiple significations of the “frontline” metaphor in the UK during the first ten months of COVID-19. We argue that the term “frontline” has operated as a performative frame, which has helped to produce the very notion and the materialization of the “COVID-19 frontline” and keyworkers. Showing how the UK government has repeatedly cited this metaphor, we outline the contradictory effects it has generated through an interplay of hyper-visibility and opaqueness. The frontline metaphor has been used to justify the government's injection of massive amounts of public money into the economy, render hyper-visible workers who had previously been invisible, whilst generating a sense of civic responsibility. Simultaneously, however, the metaphor has created a smokescreen for corrupt practices, deflecting attention away from resource-starved health and social care infrastructures and intensifying forms of “everyday bordering” and “everyday racism” that deepen structural injustices in the UK. © 2021 Pluto Journals.
