Abstract [en]
The spread of COVID-19 acutely challenges and affects notjust economic markets, demographic statistics andhealthcare systems, but indeed also the politics of organiz-ing and becoming in a new everyday life of academiaemerging in our homes. Through a collage of stories, snap-shots, vignettes, photos and other reflections of everydaylife, this collective contribution is catching a glimpse ofcorona-life and its micro-politics of multiple, often con-tradicting claims on practices as many of us live, work andcare at home. It embodies concerns, dreams, anger, hope,numbness, passion and much more emerging amongst aca-demics from across the world in response to the crisis. Assuch, this piece manifests a shared need to — together,apart — enact and explore constitutive relations of resis-tance, care and solidarity in these dis/organizing times ofcontested spaces, identities and agencies as we are living–working–caring at home during lockdowns.
