Abstract

In the present essay review, we bring some sociological reflections about the durable effects of the lockdown not only in tourism behaviour but also in society. In so doing, we pose some central questions oriented to understand the sense of new normality, where the social distancing marks human relations. We coin the term trivialisation of death to discuss the ideological dispositions revolving around the domestication of death. In parallel, a new debate around the idea of the tourist-gaze is amounted in the section to follow. In the pre-pandemic world, tourists were valorised as ambassadors of the civilised order, but now they appear to be demonised as potential carriers of a lethal decease, if not potential terrorists who lurk to attack anytime. To some extent, COVID19 -far from being a foundational event- reaffirms a logic that starts with 9/11 and the so-called War on Terror.

COVID-19对旅游社会的影响:对死亡和生命琐屑化的人类学洞察

在本论文综述中，我们对封锁不仅在旅游行为中而且在社会中产生的持久影响进行了一些社会学反思。在此过程中，我们提出了一些核心问题，旨在理解新常态的意义，其中社会距离标志着人际关系。我们创造了“死亡的琐细化”这个术语来讨论围绕死亡的驯化而产生的意识形态倾向。与此同时，一场围绕游客目光的新辩论将在接下来的章节中进行。在疫情爆发前的世界，游客被奉为文明秩序的使者，但现在他们似乎被妖魔化为致命疾病的潜在携带者，如果不是潜伏着随时发动袭击的潜在恐怖分子的话。在某种程度上，covid - 19远非一个基础性事件，而是重申了一个始于9/11和所谓反恐战争的逻辑。
