‘Care Bonds’ in Times of COVID-19

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter draws on ethnographic research in order to examine the experiences of Czech live-in care workers who worked in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic. Applying Didier Fassin&apos;s definition of a &apos;moral economy&apos; (Fassin, 2009), I analyse the moral status of decisions made in the context of pandemic measures and the associated circulation of values, feelings and emotions (Fassin and Fourcade, 2021). Furthermore, the chapter explores the &apos;everyday economies&apos; manifested in care workers&apos; narratives and shared experiences of the new rules put in place to contain the pandemic. It focuses on the perspective of a sending country while analysing how Czech live-in care workers coped with the introduction of the new biopolitical measures at the borders and how pandemic regulations (including testing and vaccination policies) affected their circular cross-border mobility. Besides this, it discusses the role of communication on social media platforms, which acquired a key function in providing virtual support, disseminating pandemic-related information and knowledge and forging individual and collective resilience vis-a-vis the specific modus operandi of care mobility in times of epidemic risks.
