Curare. Journal of Medical Anthropology: #Corona Diaries wanted

CORONA DIARIES WANTED

The editorial board of "Curare. Journal of Medical Anthropology" is
planning a special issue on the current corona pandemic. For this
purpose, we are collecting ethnographic material written down as
(auto-)ethnographic diaries, which record what is happening in one's own
environment.

This is perhaps a unique opportunity to generate ethnographic material
that makes it possible to reconstruct collectively, in retrospect, what
is happening right now and what we cannot comprehend at this moment of
crisis. The situation in individual countries is developing differently,
and countries are increasingly closing their national borders, which
makes it interesting and important to look from a comparative
perspective at what is happening in similar and different ways in
individual countries.

The retrospective interpretation of what has happened will probably be
quite controversial in the public sphere when it later comes, among
other things, to assessing how this situation was handled and the
consequences of crisis management, as well as drawing lessons for the
future. This kind of daily ethnographic recording will be all the more
important for this discussion.

Therefore, we are looking for correspondents from different countries
who observe their own everyday life and that of others, who follow media
coverage, save media documents, and record everything in a diary.

Most important: We are looking for records of your own reactions and
those of your environment on a daily basis and not retrospectively, to
ensure that parts of the „indexicality" of the process can be
reconstructed later.

You could send your diary-documentation on a daily basis too. We aim to
bring together the various diary entries in a next issue of Curare. If
you are interested, please contact us by March 25, 2020 at curare@agem.de

AIMS & SCOPE
Since 1978, Curare. Journal of Medical Anthropology, has provided an
international and interdisciplinary forum for the scientific discussion
of topics in medical anthropology, understood as encompassing all
aspects of health, disease, medicine and healing, past and present, in
different parts of the world.
After a first, internal review by the editorial team, all research
articles are subject to a rigorous, double-blind external review
procedure. All other submitted manuscripts are internally reviewed by
the editorial team. In addition to research articles, the journal
publishes conference reports and book reviews. Furthermore, the
journal's forum section offers space for essayistic contributions,
interviews and ethnographic vignettes.
Curare is unique among medical anthropology journals in that it
publishes articles in English and German. Curare also supports the
publication of guest-edited special issues. If you are interested in
submitting an article or a special issue proposal, please send an email
to curare@agem.de.
