This article analyzes the experience and construction of meaning by the all-women cabin crews of Aerolíneas Argentinas working through the pandemic during the suspension of commercial operations in 2020. Our study is centered around three themes: the (re)organization of schedules, job uncertainty, and changes in duties. These transformations in the work process generated an increase in the physical and mental workload, including emotional labor, both paid and unpaid. We offer a contribution to the theoretical discussion of the relationship between working and living conditions as a totality, framed through the lenses of critical research on occupational health and feminist theory.En este artículo analizamos la experiencia y la construcción de sentidos en torno al trabajo en pandemia de las tripulaciones de Aerolíneas Argentinas durante el período de suspensión de operaciones comerciales en el año 2020. Nos enfocamos en el estudio de tres dimensiones: la (re)organización de los tiempos, la incertidumbre laboral y el cambio de tareas. Sostenemos que esas transformaciones en el proceso de trabajo generaron un aumento de la carga laboral, tanto física como mental, incluyendo el trabajo emocional, remunerado y no remunerado. Con ello, buscamos aportar a la discusión teórica acerca de la relación entre las condiciones de trabajo y de vida como una totalidad planteada por los estudios críticos de salud laboral y de las teorías feministas.

This article addresses the economic and political repercussions of the pandemic on the migrant populations in Iquique, Chile, comparing the experiences of Bolivian and Venezuelan migrants. We assess the forms of resistance they developed to survive the economic, social, and health crises associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic, which each group confronted in a different manner. We approached this from the viewpoint of the autonomy of migration and conducted participant observations and in-depth interviews with people of both nationalities using the framework of collaborative ethnography. In addition, we systematized and categorized relevant press articles to contextualize and trace the evolution of the pandemic and its impact on these populations. The research reveals the racism in what the press included and omitted, particularly with regard to the forms of resistance carried out by migrants, which appear to be the only way of confronting precarity and abandonment.En este artículo se abordan las repercusiones económicas y políticas de la pandemia en la población migrante en Iquique, Chile, comparando las experiencias de las poblaciones boliviana y venezolana.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made historical and contemporary colonial relationships between and within states more fraught. This complexity is apparent within the research process itself, adding a new dimension to debates on positionality and the politics of knowledge production. Drawing on critical approaches to International Relations, and in dialogue with an emerging literature on the implications of the pandemic for knowledge decolonization, we reflect on our experience as scholars from the UK/Ireland researching colonial legacy and Transitional Justice in Colombia. The aim of this autoethnographic article is to suggest how the COVID-19 pandemic affected inequalities between researchers based in Europe and participants in Latin America. Our findings are mixed. While Covid-related funding cuts undermined equity within relationships, the virtual field offered an opportunity to cultivate cooperation between researcher and participant and re-think issues of ethics, voice, and the research agenda itself. Finally, El Maestro Covid taught us valuable lessons on the colonial trap inherent in our endeavors.

This article analyzes the public manifestos made among civil society during the first wave of Covid-19 in Brazil. Data collection took place between April and August 2020, and gathered a sample made up of documents in various formats, which were drawn up by a wide range of actors who voice very different ideas and themes. The data analysis allowed us to identify three important shifts: these actors reacted to the threats of the pandemic and de-democratization; they built frame bridges, which link various organizations and the traditional causes they fight for to the pandemic situation; and they articulated long-term agendas that point to a post-pandemic utopian future, which includes the construction of a new conception of democratic public solidarity that draws attention to the collective duty of public responsibility.

Desde la pandemia, América Latina experimentó un drástico crecimiento del número de trabajadores que se emplean en forma remota para empresas extranjeras. No obstante, los mismos cambios que facilitaron esta expansión del teletrabajo internacional aceleran la competencia global entre trabajadores, lo que junto con la crisis que atraviesa la industria del software, genera despidos y caída salarial. En este contexto, estudiamos las diferentes trayectorias de los países latinoamericanos, los rubros ocupacionales en que cada uno se inserta, las tensiones que estos cambios generan el ámbito doméstico y los desafíos que presentan para pensar estratégicamente el desarrollo regional.Since the pandemic, Latin America has experienced a drastic growth in the number of workers employed remotely by foreign companies. However, the same changes that facilitated this expansion of international teleworking have accelerated global competition between workers. This, along with the current crisis of the software industry, leads to layoffs and a drop in wages. This paper addresses the different paths of several Latin American countries, the occupational categories in which each one is inserted, the tensions that these changes produce in the domestic sphere, and the challenges they entail for thinking strategically about regional development.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused massive human suffering just as much as it heightened pre-existing socio-economic and political issues. Brazil, where over 700,000 people perished, offers one of the starkest cases as Black and Indigenous lives were particularly neglected through a hands-off approach. While commonly characterized as mismanagement, we argue that the Bolsonaro administration’s strategy instead represents a case of malgovernance—where deliberate (in)action rather than technical inaptitude accounts for the policies adopted. We draw from detailed account-taking of the government’s actions (and calculated inactions) throughout 2020 to 2022 to offer an elaborate analysis of Brazil’s case through the lens of necropolitics and gore capitalism. We expose how a libertarian self-reliance ethic, with racist undertones, joined together with boundless capital accumulation to create a social Darwinist approach to the handling of COVID-19 in Brazil. The malgovernance of the pandemic thus reveals deeper issues that in time may become manifest in newer, grimmer forms.

Based on 140 interviews with respondents in six Indigenous communities in Alaska, New Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala, this phenomenological study focuses on Indigenous communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Flora and Flora’s Community Capitals Framework, as well as Emery and Flora’s concept of the spiral of Community Capitals assets, this article explores both the challenges and coping mechanisms of Indigenous Peoples. Our findings suggest that perceived well-being during the pandemic was influenced by perceptions of agency as well as sentiment regarding pandemic policies. An initial “spiraling down” of community assets was offset by community strengths, particularly socio-cultural assets, leading to a “spiraling up.” This article seeks to highlight the voices of Indigenous Peoples, demonstrating through lived experiences how our respondents used the strengths of their community to reverse the downward spiral of assets during the pandemic, while serving as a contribution to the literature on governance and cultural protection.

How can we understand the variation in countries’ responses to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the context of income protection policies for vulnerable families? This article provides a comparative presentation and discussion of the measures put in place in Brazil and Chile in 2020. We argue that the similarities and differences in the strategies adopted are largely due to the trajectories both in the area of social policy, which constrain the design and implementation of emergency measures, and in the general context of politics in each country. Furthermore, our empirical analysis indicates that the explanation should not be focused exclusively on the actors present in the central government, but should also include the role of the opposition and subnational governments in shaping emergency responses.
