摘要

在挪威,福利国家制度和对政府的信任决定了该国应对疫情的方法。特别是,政府的战略是激活dugnad(自愿、互惠的社区工作)的文化概念,它依赖于所有参与者的平等地位,这符合国家对平等和公正社会的想象。然而,与其他国家一样,COVID-19使人们关注在获得医疗保健、信息、适足住房等方面的不平等现象。调查感染措施及其间接后果可以澄清在危机中优先考虑哪些价值观和人,以及哪些人被视为属于挪威社会。这篇文章指出,大流行是一个放大镜,揭示了缺乏足够的急救护士、医生、设备、医院和精神病学床位、足够的卫生素养努力等等。此外,它还放大了异性恋规范和以欧洲为中心的谁构成一个家庭的观念,以及谁是足够挪威人的民族主义观念。通过激活dugnad,政治家将其作为当选领导人的责任转移给了公民个人,导致大流行病期间社会经济不平等和健康差距的扩大,同时也导致对大流行病措施的长期和间接成本的沟通不彰。

“Not a Major or Complicated Task”: Activating Dugnad under COVID-19 and the Imagination of Equality in the Norwegian Welfare State
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.
