ABSTRACT This article reflects on the concept of necropolitics and its usefulness for understanding the state response to COVID-19, and its unequal political and economic consequences. Focusing on the British state, the paper seeks to explore and explain the dominant forms of government intervention and regulation that sought to ameliorate the crisis and shows how this response was shaped by a set of racialised capitalist social relations. The article argues that whilst the concept allows us to grasp the racialised vulnerability to death contained within the COVID-19 response, this needs to be understood within the wider context of the extraction of value in three key instances: firstly, in terms of creating a regime that would protect corporate autonomy; secondly, in terms of a racialised division of labour within states and finally in the context of a global imperialism which marginalises and racialises those states outside of the imperial core. It uses those three instances to explore how racist necropolitics is always underpinned processes of value-in-motion that maintain corporate profitability.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the juxtaposition of two phenomena – deaths at work and coronavirus deaths – in the context of regulatory strategies which are ostensibly to prevent such deaths. More specifically, my particular focus is on the ways in which work, working and workplaces were managed – and indeed somewhat obscured – during the pandemic, so that the normalisation of work-related deaths by and large continued, even perhaps exacerbated, certainly killing tens of thousands of workers. To this end, in the following sections, I begin, first, by examining in historical context how workplace death because normalised through law and regulation, then turn to focus upon the various ways in deaths were further normalised and obscured during the pandemic in the UK. A key conceptual and empirical reference point here is regulation – a phenomenon and process which, as illustrated across different aspects of the pandemic, is revealed as permitting and routinising deaths related to work and working.

ABSTRACT Labelled ‘the shadow pandemic’ by UN Women, violence against women received considerable global public attention during 2020–21. Underpinning this moment of public concern, there lies a substantial history of efforts to document the nature of, and campaign against, the extent of violence against women globally. This is also the case in relation to femicide. Whilst we recognise that this is a contested term, for the purposes of this paper we use femicide to refer to the killing of women and girls because they are female by male violence. Femicide, as a death to be specifically counted in law only exists in a small number of jurisdictions. Where it is so recognised, primarily in South American countries as feminicidio, such deaths represent only the tip of the iceberg of such killings globally. This paper, in drawing on empirical data from a range of different sources (including administrative data, media analysis, and Femicide Observatory data) gathered throughout 2020, considers: what it means to call a death femicide, what implications might follow if all the deaths of women at the hands of men were counted as femicide, and the extent to which extraordinary times have any bearing on this kind of ordinary death.
