Abstract

Los RETOS COVID-19 surgieron a principios de la pandemia para ofrecer una información veraz y científica de lo que estaba sucediendo a nivel mundial en relación a la infección por el SARS-CoV 2 y sus consecuencias. Cuál podía ser su origen o su capacidad de contagio; qué clínica se asociaba a la enfermedad; su duración, sus consecuencias, la población diana; qué tratamientos había o se iban desarrollando; cuántos contagios y fallecimientos se producían a nivel mundial y, por supuesto en España, qué esperábamos de las vacunas y para cuándo las íbamos a poder utilizar, y así un largo número de cuestiones que, semanalmente el comité científico de la Fundación las publicaba en forma de artículos de opinión, noticia de ámbito general y de artículo científico para los más exigentes. La aventura duró hasta julio del 2021, cuando ya parecía que se iba a superar la pandemia y se estaba produciendo una cierta vuelta a la normalidad. Pensamos que era la hora de hacer una parada y recopilar gran parte de esa información (los artículos de opinión), en un libro, RETOS-COVID I9-I que sirviera de recordatorio del largo año pasado en un feroz confinamiento los primeros meses, para evolucionar a un estado de severas restricciones. Pero el verano nos volvió a traer una nueva onda de contagios con una nueva cepa, y decidimos reanudar la actividad en lo que ahora se plasma como RETOS COVID-19 II. Esta segunda etapa es diferente, ya que, a lo escrito los meses previos, se añaden los nuevos interrogantes y conceptos surgidos en los siguientes meses.

Abstract

About the publication COVID-19 has become one of the most severe issues dominating discussions on the agendas of states globally, and across the African continent, since its emergence in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has regrettably brought into sharp focus the continued multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination faced by women and girls in Africa because of their intersecting identities. Yet, paradoxically, although African women are disproportionately affected by the crisis, they are largely invisible in the responses. Several African states and governments have taken different policy measures in response to the pandemic. These responses have taken different dimensions, including shutting down economies, imposition of lockdowns, coercive quarantine measures with police enforcement and criminal consequences for offenders violating these rules. Unfortunately, these responses have reinforced and amplified women's disproportionate disadvantage and gender inequalities in Africa. Against this backdrop, this book asks the intersectional question about women's experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa. Applying an intersectional human rights lens involves questioning how the intersecting identities that African women embody affect their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

El 15 de marzo del 2020 marcó un antes y un después en nuestras vidas con el coronavirus como gran protagonista a nivel internacional. Nos acostamos un domingo por la noche, después de haber disfrutado del fin de semana al aire libre, y amanecimos encerrados en nuestras casas durante un periodo de tres meses. La población andaba perdida y las fake news se expandían a mayor velocidad que la transmisión del virus. Este libro presenta un total de cincuenta y dos artículos que, recogidos a lo largo de un año de pandemia, ofrecen al lector un dibujo del panorama vivido y de las inquietudes por las que hemos pasado. Desde las primeras medidas de protección individual (mascarilla sí, mascarilla no; cierre total sí versus cierre parcial mejor) a los primeros datos sobre la sintomatología de los enfermos o los tratamientos que se empezaron a aplicar sin conocer exactamente sus bondades. Investigaciones sobre el origen del virus, las promesas de que las vacunas iban a estar listas en breve¿ tantos interrogantes planteados a lo largo de unos meses que han ido pasando, situándonos en una rápida desescalada y, casi sin darnos cuenta, en la segunda ola después del verano.Poco después llegó Navidad y, tras ella, sin apenas margen temporal, la tercera ola, la cuarta y la quinta al inicio del verano, cuando gran parte de la población estaba vacunada y pensábamos que el verano era nuestro. Pero después de estos contagios sucesivos se nos plantean muchas dudas distintas. Todos estos temas son los que hemos plasmado en Retos COVID-19 y que inspiran este libro, siendo la vía diseñada para canalizar con rigor la correcta información a través de webinars, una página específica dentro de la web de la Fundación QUAES y newsletters semanales.

Abstract

A chronicle, a memoir, a reflection on the pandemic, and a cultural analysis of the new spatial, social, and epistemological forms that have arisen with it, this volume weaves together cultural history, aesthetics, and urban and digital studies. It looks at the particular ways in which the possibilities for touch, touching and being touched, both physically and affectively, are reconfigured by the pandemic. How are love, care, and humanity's complex relationships with technology and nature played out in the interval between abandoned city centres and digitally mediated gatherings? How can we comprehend the reconfiguration of relationships through the human response to the pandemic as an experience that concerns us all but affects each of us in different ways? How do we think through the technological and material dependencies that the pandemic situation establishes? And how does this allow us to imagine the world beyond the pandemic--both utopian and dystopian? The essays in this book explore the new forms of intimacy and distance that are developing in the wake of COVID-19, offering a distinctive, topical analysis in the fields of urban and digital studies.

Abstract

The worldwide imposed lockdowns forced schools and universities to digitise conventional teaching in a very short time and to convert teaching and learning formats partially or completely to Distance Learning. The changes in everyday teaching brought by Distance Learning were felt worldwide. With 22 double blind peerreviewed articles of researchers reporting on 17 different countries, the editors of this book want to shed light on the effects of Distance Learning in different regions of the world. This will allow for a value-free comparison of how the COVID-19 pandemic has been addressed in education in different parts of the world and what impacts it has had, is having or may have in the future.
