Description

<p>Based on insights from anthropological studies of infectious diseases and Tadanori Yokoo's artwork series of “WITH CORONA,” this paper examines the idea of “With Corona,” which was adopted as a fundamental strategy to slow down the spread of infectious disease in Japan from February 2020 to March 2021. Theoretically, this paper emphasizes the vulnerability of bodily becoming and the importance of the milieu as both directing and restyled by human action. It concludes that (1) a shift from the politics of “who” to the politics of “what,” as proposed by Annemarie Mol, is essential to understand the experience of the pandemic; (2) the idea of the milieu from Michel Foucault is helpful as a strategy for description; and (3) the question of how to slow down rapid changes of economic situation, which Karl Polanyi highlighted, has emerged as critical for both policymakers and anthropologists.</p>
