摘要

象征性的权力植根于警察的制服和身体形象中。2019冠状病毒病大流行使人们对警察的“肮脏工作”有了新的理解，并表明警察制服是如何被视为造成身体污染和象征性污染的非自愿工具。本文基于2020年夏天对来自11个英国警察部队的18名警察的采访，并探讨了COVID-19大流行如何导致对病毒收缩的恐惧和焦虑加剧，特别是在当时警察没有优先接受检测和接种疫苗的情况下。考虑到将新冠病毒传染给家人的可能性，警察们对制服采取了不同的态度，并举行了净化仪式，以减少对身体周围物理和象征空间的侵犯。对"未知"的恐惧和焦虑促使人们讨论官员福利的长期影响，以及学习为未来流行病做准备的重要性。

‘Wait! Don’t touch me!’: Police uniforms, family anxiety, and rituals of purification in the COVID-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT Emblematic power is entrenched in the uniform and bodily image of the police. The COVID-19 pandemic has afforded a new layer of understandings of ‘dirty work’ with police officers, and has shown how the police uniform is perceived to be an involuntary vehicle for physical contamination and symbolic taint. This article is based on interviews with 18 police officers from 11 UK police forces over the summer of 2020 and explores how the COVID-19 pandemic caused increased fear and anxiety about virus contraction, particularly when officers were not prioritised for testing and vaccinations at the time. The possibility of transmitting COVID-19 to family members motivated officers to treat their uniforms differently, and they undertook purification rituals to mitigate violations of the physical and symbolic space around the body. Fear and anxiety of ‘the unknown’ is a motivator for discussions about long-term effects of officer well-being, and the significance of learning to prepare for future pandemics.

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.
