Abstract

ABSTRACT:Public discourse about ethics in the COVID-19 pandemic has tended to focus on scarcity of resources and the protection of civil liberties. We show how these preoccupations reflect an established disaster imaginary that orients the ethics of response. In this paper, we argue that pandemic ethics should instead be oriented through a relational account of persons as vulnerable vectors embedded in existing networks of care. We argue for the creation of a new disaster imaginary to shape our own understandings of the interrelated social, political, and economic hardships under conditions of social distancing. We develop a pandemic ethics framework rooted in uBuntu and care ethics that makes visible the underlying multidimensional structural inequities of the pandemic, attending to the problems of resource scarcity and inequities in mortality while insisting on a response that surges existing and emergent forms of solidarity.

高涨的团结:重新定位流行病的伦理
摘要:在新冠肺炎疫情中,公众对道德的讨论往往集中在资源稀缺和公民自由保护上。我们展示了这些关注如何反映出一种既定的灾难想象,这种想象引导了应对的伦理。在这篇论文中,我们认为,流行病伦理应该通过将人作为弱势媒介嵌入现有护理网络的关系描述来引导。我们主张创造一种新的灾难想象,以塑造我们自己对社交距离条件下相互关联的社会、政治和经济困难的理解。我们制定了一个植根于uBuntu的流行病伦理框架和护理伦理,使人们看到了流行病潜在的多层面结构不平等,关注资源短缺和死亡率不平等的问题,同时坚持采取应对措施,加强现有和新出现的团结形式。
