这篇文章将数字人类学和社会工作学术结合在一起，创建了日常数字亲密的应用人类学。儿童保护社会工作包括在他人的亲密空间进行家访，在这种情况下，感官和情感参与模式与专业意识和标准相结合，构成对儿童福祉和家庭关系的敏感理解。在新冠肺炎盛行的情况下，社会工作实践已部分转向远程工作，即社会工作者在家中通过数字方式与服务使用者互动，同时寻求构建同样有效的亲密和理解模式。我们从我们对新冠肺炎期间的社会工作和儿童保护的研究中带来了实践案例，并结合数字亲密的人类学来考察数字社会工作实践的新模式的含义。
This article brings together digital anthropology and social work scholarship to create an applied anthropology of everyday digital intimacy. Child protection social work involves home visits in the intimate spaces of others, where modes of sensorial and affective engagement combine with professional awareness and standards to constitute sensitive understandings of children's well-being and family relationships. In the COVID-19 pandemic, social work practice has shifted, partly, to distance work where social workers engage digitally with service users in their homes while seeking to constitute similarly effective modes of intimacy and understanding. We bring practice examples from our study of social work and child protection during COVID-19 together with anthropologies of digital intimacy to examine implications for new modes of digital social work practice.
