This article is about denouncing the dehumanisation process that took place in the time of Covid-19. It recognises that governments have a vital role to play in setting national directions to tackle racist violence and that the value of having hate crime laws should not be underestimated. However, it argues that a broader approach is needed to embark upon a -humanisation initiative and effectively combat racist violence. It emphasises that, to get people truly devoted to a course of action, they must develop a greater understanding of the sources of the problem. Accordingly, this article suggests that academia has a key role to play in shedding light on the occurrence of -humanisation and the potential for -humanisation.
本文旨在谴责在新冠疫情期间发生的非人性化过程。它认识到政府在制定应对种族主义暴力的国家方向方面可发挥至关重要的作用,并且仇恨犯罪法的价值不容低估。然而,它认为需要采取更广泛的方法来开展一项人性化倡议并有效打击种族主义暴力。它强调,要让人们真正致力于某一行动方针,他们必须更深入地了解问题的根源。因此,本文认为学术界在揭示非人性化的发生情况以及非人性化的可能性方面可发挥关键作用。
