这本书假设了一个“日常生活”的角度来看待2019冠状病毒病大流行期间英国公共场所的面具。口罩也许是让人们看到新冠肺炎疫情所造成变化的最切实的方式之一。在2020年的几个月时间里，英国的蒙面现象从公共场所几乎不存在到变得普遍，无论是在2020年7月英国政府强制要求在大多数封闭的公共场所蒙面之前还是之后。在这种背景下，在公共场合引入面具的速度和规模为社会学家提供了一个难得的机会来记录一种新的社会实践（有争议的）出现。作者认为，大流行期间的掩蔽性质意味着掩蔽做法需要通过物质、干扰和道德维度的交织来理解。通过发展一种关系视角来探索掩蔽的物质性和道德意义之间的关系，以及这如何转化为公共空间掩蔽实践的发展，作者进一步认为，疫情期间掩蔽的特定背景为社会学家提供了一个独特的透镜，以思考物质、干扰和道德实践的本质。
This book assumes an “everyday life” perspective towards masking in public spaces in the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic. Facemasks are perhaps one of the most tangible ways in which the changes wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic were made visible. In the space of a few months in 2020, masking in the UK went from being almost non-existent in public to becoming widespread, both before and after the UK government mandated masking in most enclosed public spaces in July 2020. In this context, the speed and scale of the introduction of masking in public settings offers sociologists a rare chance to document the (contested) emergence of a new social practice. The authors argue that the nature of masking during the pandemic means that masking practices need to be understood through the entwinement of material, interactional, and moral dimensions. By developing a relational perspective to explore the relationship between the materiality and moral significance of masking, and how this translated into the development of masking practices in public spaces, the authors argue further that the specific context of masking during the pandemic provides sociologists with a unique lens to think through the nature of material, interactional, and moral practices in general.
