Using a critical phenomenology approach, I explore how the neoliberal social context of the North American university produces normative expectations which both interact with and pattern student experiences and understandings of mental health struggles in this environment. The data I analyze comes from semi-structured interviews with 24 university students between 18 and 24 years of age who self-identify as experiencing mental health struggles, as well as participant observation at university wellness events. In this context, both students and the university understand wellness as the ability to maintain constant academic productivity. While university wellness programming promotes goal-oriented individualized “self”-care as the gold standard for attaining and maintaining wellness, students often view self-care activities as unproductive, instead prioritizing academic productivity over subjective well-being in striving to maintain an image as the “good” student. I argue that understanding mental health in this way both causes and exacerbates harm, introducing the conceptual contrast between “Student Wellness”—academic success—and “Human Wellness”—subjective well- being—as a means of understanding how university attempts to increase wellness often support neoliberal agendas to the detriment of their students’ well-being.

À la lisière des mondes habitables surgissent des solidarités impromptues qui restaurent la potentialité d’une humanité tissée serrée, même lorsque celle-ci ne tient plus qu’à un fil. Cet article est le récit personnel et cocasse d’une ethnographie à Barcelone où rien ne se passe comme prévu, notamment à cause d’une pandémie qui change fondamentalement la nature des rapports sociaux. Dans ce chaos, le mouvement maker qui constitue mon objet de recherche a pris un virage spectaculaire utilisant ses imprimantes 3D et ses aptitudes à l’organisation collective et solidaire pour fabriquer et distribuer les équipements de protection individuelle devenus introuvables. À partir d’entrevues et d’observations, mais aussi d’articles et de littérature grise, j’analyse la manière dont les Coronavirus Makers ont déployé tant leur pouvoir d’agir qu’une mise en récit de l’utilité sociale de leurs actions, soudainement très médiatisées. Ainsi, dans les interstices d’une économie bousculée, s’entrevoyaient les possibilités d’une relocalisation de la production basée sur la fabrication numérique, sur l’économie circulaire et sur des villes productives. Néanmoins, en dépit de la flamboyance de l’épiphanie maker, les limites de l’affranchissement des chaînes de production et d’approvisionnement globales demeurent encore bien réelles.

In Norway, the institution of the welfare state and trust in the government defined the country’s approach to tackling the pandemic. In particular, the government’s strategy to activate the cultural concept of dugnad (voluntary, reciprocal communal work), which relies on an equal standing of all participants, plays into the national imaginary of an egalitarian and just society. However, like in other countries, COVID-19 has put the spotlight on inequalities in access to healthcare, information, adequate housing, and more. Investigating infection measures and their indirect consequences can clarify which values and people are given priority in a crisis and who is seen as belonging to Norwegian society. This article points to the pandemic as a magnifying glass revealing the lack of enough emergency care nurses, physicians, equipment, hospital and psychiatry beds, adequate health literacy efforts and more. Moreover, it magnifies heteronormative and Eurocentric ideas of who makes up a family, compounded by nationalistic notions of who is Norwegian enough to belong. By activating dugnad, politicians transferred their responsibilities as elected leaders to individual citizens, leading to the growth of socioeconomic inequalities and health disparities during the pandemic while also resulting in the poor communication of the long-term and indirect costs of pandemic measures.
