Abstract

This panel brings together research papers which explore various discourses and politics that have been key to the governing of the COVID-19 crisis in different national contexts. The contributions take feminist, queer, intersectional, and postcolonial approaches to study the societal and discursive construction of “threat”, “risk”, “security” and “crises” but also “family”, “home”, and “safety” during the pandemic and how these discourses have impacted marginalized— i.e., feminized, racialized, poor — individuals and groups. They consider the role of institutional politics but also of civil society organizations and media in reinforcing new or aggravated forms of social exclusion faced by these groups in the context of the current pandemic.
