COVID-19全球大流行产生了一种新的社会秩序，其最终形态和持久性仍然未知。我们所知道的是，在短期内，为了应对这种新的传染性威胁，护理和死亡的经历被深刻地重塑了，这种重塑的影响仍然存在。虽然这些变化是前所未有的，但基础人类学理论仍然具有相关性，可以帮助理解。我们自己的专长是研究和理论化社会是如何组织死亡和死亡的——他们的“死亡系统”——以及使人们的经历变得有意义的文化信仰。在这里，我们总结了一些经典的人类学理论，这些理论有助于我们理解在这次大流行期间死亡和照顾垂死的人是如何受到影响的。即使在全球推广疫苗，导致covid -19相关死亡率下降之后，我们仍然看到不同国家在如何最好地照顾患者，如何“计算”死亡人数以及如何通过调节当地和国际上的尸体流动来最大限度地降低风险方面苦苦挣扎。我们认为，大流行后的世界将继续出现地区性或全球性的类似或新型传染病暴发，我们在这里概述的经典理论可以帮助我们在全球北方的临终关怀领域中导航。
Naomi richards and Marian Krawczyk the COVID-19 global pandemic engendered a new social order, the ultimate shape and permanence of which is still unknown. What is known is that in the short term, experiences of caregiving and dying were profoundly reshaped in reaction to this new contagious threat and the effects of that reshaping are still being felt. though these changes have been unprecedented, foundational anthropology theories continue to have relevance and can aid understanding. Our own expertise is in researching and theorizing how societies organize death and dying—their “death systems” 1—and the cultural beliefs that emerge to make sense of people’s experiences. Here, we summarize some classic anthropological theories that can contribute to our understanding of how dying, and caring for the dying, was affected during this pandemic. even after the global rollout of vaccines, leading to a decrease in COVID-19-related mortality, we continued to see different countries struggle with how best to care for those with the disease, how to “count” those who died and how to minimize risk through regulating the movement of bodies locally and internationally. We believe that a postpandemic world will continue to contain similar or novel infectious disease outbreaks, either regionally or globally, and that the classic theories we outline here can help us to navigate the future terrain of end-of-life care in the Global North.
