I begin with my impressions of a narrative of redemption that is caught up in the formation of new environmental, social, and political aspirations for the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. I then reflect on, first, pre-pandemic scholarship on "biosecurity" and, second, taking up a variation of the syndemic approach to understanding the COVID-19 pandemic. I end by arguing that we should not expect to live with "new normals" for living in a post-COVID-19 world that leaves intact "old normals" that have historically contributed to the rise of anthropogenic environmental harms and inegalitarian social arrangements in the world today.
我首先介绍了一个救赎叙事,该叙事陷入了新的环境、社会和政治愿望的形成之中,这些愿望是为了应对 COVID-19 大流行之后的世界。然后,我首先反思了 COVID-19 大流行之前关于“生物安全”的学术研究,其次探讨了采用一种变体的综合征方法来理解 COVID-19 大流行。最后,我认为,我们不应该期望在 COVID-19 之后的世界中生活在“新常态”中,这些新常态保留了历史上导致人为环境危害和不平等社会安排的“旧常态”。
