2020 年 2 月，澳门成为首批受到冠状病毒或 Covid-19 疫情影响的地区之一，影响了整个社会和经济生活，导致人们对流动和距离的焦虑加剧。尽管澳门实际感染该病毒的病例很少（总共 46 例），也没有死亡病例，但澳门政府迅速实施了封锁。本文的目的是反思封锁期间的社交体验如何为理解我们暂时称为“焦虑不动”的体验或状况类型提供见解。这种情况的特点是日常节奏完全被打乱，并且特别焦虑地等待活动正常化，同时成为隔离和社会责任的生物社会叙事的主题。该论文基于两名澳门研究人员为期三个月的人种学研究。我们还根据香港、澳门、中国大陆和世界其他地区之间的干扰和摩擦点，反思流动政治的某些方面。
In February 2020, Macau became one of the first regions where the pandemic of coronavirus or Covid-19 affected the totality of social and economic life leading to increased anxieties over movement and distance. Although Macau has had very few actual cases of the virus - 46 in total - and no deaths from it, the Macau government rapidly instituted a lockdown. The aim of this article is to reflect on how the social experience of being in lockdown can provide insights into understanding the type of experience or condition that we provisionally term 'anxious immobility.' Such a condition is characterized by a total disruption of everyday rhythms and specifically anxious waiting for the normalization of activity while being the subject of biosocial narratives of quarantine and socially responsible. The paper is based upon 3 months of ethnographic research conducted by two researchers based in Macau. We also reflect upon some aspects of the politics of mobilities in the light of disruptions and friction points between Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, and the rest of the world.
