BE KIND: Negotiating Ethical Proximities in Aotearoa/New Zealand during COVID-19
1University of Auckland.
Abstract:
Citizens do not merely respond to states of emergency; in democratic societies, they help constitute them. This essay analyzes New Zealanders' engagements in ethical reasoning during the country's first COVID-19 lockdown. Specifically, I examine how we can understand a variety of public responses to emergency measures-including breaching regulations, threatening rule-breakers, sealing off neighborhoods, and recasting citizen-returnees as "strangers"-as negotiations of ethical proximities focused on keeping appropriately close that which is thought should be near, and keeping distanced that deemed best held afar.
