Aus dem Verlagstext: „Im Zuge der Covid-19-Pandemie wurde die weltweite Bewegungsfreiheit erheblich eingeschränkt. Besonders innerhalb der Europäischen Union, die sich durch ein hohes Maß grenzüberschreitender Verflechtungen kennzeichnet, ging die Einführung von Grenzrestriktionen mit Einschnitten im Arbeits- und Lebensalltag einher. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt überblicksweise die praktischen und symbolischen Auswirkungen für Grenzraumbewohner:innen der so genannten Großregion vor, die während der ‚ersten Welle‘ aus den Maßnahmen zur Pandemiebekämpfung resultierten. In einer Kontrastierung mit den Maßnahmen nachfolgender Pandemiephasen zeigt sich, dass Lehren aus den Erfahrungen im Frühjahr 2020 gezogen wurden. Grenzregionen und die Belange grenzüberschreitender Arbeitnehmer:innen rückten stärker ins (politische) Bewusstsein. Während die Pandemie zunächst eine Zäsur für Grenzregionen und die europäische Integration bedeutete, deuten die dynamischen Anpassungen der Maßnahmen und neu verankerte Zielsetzungen zugunsten einer stärkeren Berücksichtigung grenzüberschreitender Verflechtungen darauf hin, dass die Covid-19-Pandemie perspektivisch auch eine Chance darstellen kann, die Impulse für eine engere Vernetzung von Grenzregionen gibt.“

Abstract: „This article examines the role played by signs in the public space of two socio-economically stratified residential neighbourhoods of Ghent (Belgium) during the first Covid-19 outbreak in 2020. On the basis of fieldwork, we explore the potential of public signs as a resourceful strategy for communicating solidarity and support and the discursive construction of a community affected by this crisis. We show that in times of lockdown and social distancing, the residential linguistic landscape in both neighbourhoods became strategically appropriated by local inhabitants to communicate with neighbours and strangers and was operationalised as a vehicle to serve new communicative functions such as the conveying of solidarity and support as well as gratitude, and collective belonging. Some differences related to emplacement, language use and quantity of signs were also observed. Overall, the article documents the affective appropriation of space through Covid-19 signs during the Covid-19 outbreak and periods of lockdown in Flanders, Belgium.“

Abstract: „In this article, the author reflects on the impact of COVID-19 on policing, the relations among police officers and the interactions between police and citizens based on systematic social observations in small to semi-sized local police forces during the pandemic. The article discusses the nature of police work during the crisis and new types of interventions that police officers are confronted with (e.g. curfew controls). Additionally, the impact of the pandemic on the internal and external relations is discussed. Internally, the COVID-19 measures may have an impact on police officers’ possibilities for personal, social interactions among colleagues, which may potentially challenge the solidarity within the police force. Externally, tensions may arise in relations with citizens, partly because of unclear regulations or variable interpretations of those regulations. Those unclear regulations, but also uncertainties concerning one’s own competences and questions regarding the police’s role in enforcing the pandemic regulations, put pressure on the police’s (self-)legitimacy.“

Abstract: „Theories on issue competition assume that there is only a limited number of issues that a person prioritises simultaneously. In this research note, we test this mechanism by using a panel study that was conducted among Belgian parents in 2019 and 2020. Between the two observations of the study, the country suffered a severe health crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigate whether this crisis reduced the priority of environmental issues among respondents. Our results show that there was indeed a significant decline of some indicators for environmental concern, but not for others. Furthermore, we show that a higher priority for the health-related and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a steeper decline in environmental concern.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „COVID-19, as well as the measures set to stop the spread of the virus, strike urban life at its heart. Indeed, much of what makes urban life attractive thrives on the physical proximity of a diversity of people in densely populated built environments. It then comes as no surprise that the socio-spatial dynamics of this infectious disease have triggered a lively debate on the future of the city. In this chapter, by engaging with several voices in this public and academic debate, we focus on the question of whose city we are talking about when we refer to the post-COVID-19 city, focusing on the highly (sub)urbanized Flemish region and Brussels in Belgium. While there is plenty of evidence emerging that both COVID-19 and the COVID-19 measures, in particular the lockdown, hit the urban population very unequally and that it reproduces and strengthens certain urban inequalities, we argue that in the debate on urban life in the (post-)COVID-19 city a ‘white’ middle-class perspective is often dominant. As a result, the diversity of spatial needs and the varying degrees of spatial poverty are not sufficiently taken into account. We then move on to document the impact of COVID-19, and the measures to counter it, on precarious groups living in the city. Finally, we suggest a few socio-spatial lessons which could be drawn from the lockdown for a more equal post-COVID-19 city. The impact of the lockdown on urban life and the use of urban space was instantaneous. A remarkable feature of several early newspaper articles on COVID-19 and in Flemish cities and Brussels is its framing in terms of ‘urban flight’. In the articles, COVID-19 is framed as a potential new driver of urban flight and thus a threat to the renewed popularity of cities with (a part of) the middle class.“

Aus dem Verlagstext: „De coronapandemie heeft het wereldsysteem, ons leven en alle grote steden op de proef gesteld. In „De stad beter na corona?“ reflecteren stadsonderzoekers over welke stedelijke ongelijkheden covid precies heeft bloot gelegd of aangewakkerd en dit vanuit een uiteenlopende waaier van thematische insteken: van huisvesting tot diversiteit, van klimaat tot (wijk)gezondheidszorg. Onbevangen wordt nagedacht over hoe een meer rechtvaardige en dus gezondere stad na corona er zou kunnen uitzien: een 15-minutenstad, een auratische stad, een stad van capsules of zetten we eindelijk de stap voorbij de sacrificiële stad van vandaag? Dit boek wil een bijdrage leveren tot een bredere maatschappelijke discussie over een meer gezonde en rechtvaardige post-covidstad en daagt de lezer uit om te reflecteren over de rol van de stad in wereld.“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „Opgelucht begaf ik me naar het Vaccinatiecentruum Koornmolen voor mijn prik. Verrast en enthousiast verliet ik het centrum. Mijn ervaring stond in schril contrast met de verwachtingen die ik koesterde op basis van de negatieve berichtgeving in de kranten over de vaccinatiecampagne. Als reactie hierop wou ik iets terugdoen om de inspanningen van de vrijwilligers van de vaccinatiecentra de wel verdiende aandacht te schenken en ze te danken en te eren voor alle inspanningen en het enthousiasme en de vriendelijkheid waarmee ze deze taken hebben opgepakt. Als gepassioneerd fotograaf weet ik dat foto’s vereeuwigen en dat een fotoboek als blijvende tastbare herinnering een belangrijke rol heeft. Ik stelde aan Michel Doomst voor om beeldmateriaal te maken en er een boek mee samen te stellen dat als eerbetoon en als dank aan de vrijwilligers zou worden opgedragen. Mijn voorstel kreeg snel gehoor. Dank zij Michel en zijn naaste medewerkers van het kernteam kreeg ik de kans hier concreet werk van te kunnen maken en het werd tevens een heel bijzondere persoonlijke levenservaring. Ik maakte sfeerbeelden van het centrum op onze Nationale Feestdag en kon in de praktijk beleven wat onze Vorst de dag voordien in zijn toespraak had benadrukt over zijn bewondering voor het werk van de vele vrijwilligers: “Onze kracht om op te veren door terug te gaan naar de essentie: onze menselijkheid”. De vrijwilligers portretteerde ik zonder masker om zo de blik te vangen die achter het doekje verborgen was gebleven voor de gevaccineerden. In een korte quote geven ze hun indrukken weer en wat hen bij zal blijven over hun periode in het vaccinatiecentrum. Ik hoop met deze beelden respect en dank aan alle vrijwilligers en medewerkers te betonen voor hun solidaire en enthousiaste inzet opdat wij allen terug een normaal sociaal leven zouden kunnen leiden. Een dikke merci! Rudy Boon“

Angaben zum Inhalt: „This study explores whether the corona crisis had an impact on the perception of job insecurity, operationalised as occupational insecurity. At the same time, we examine the association between occupational insecurity and two societal attitudes: political powerlessness and beliefs in a corona conspiracy. Finally, the literature on conspiracies suggests that the association between occupational insecurity and beliefs in a conspiracy are an attempt to give meaning to a crisis situation, like the corona pandemic. This hypothesis is tested by analysing whether political powerlessness mediates the association between occupational insecurity and the belief in a corona conspiracy. Data were gathered in December 2020 via an online survey among 1324 respondents in Flanders (Belgium). All hypotheses were corroborated by the analyses. The results suggest that the corona crisis did not only affect our health and health care system, but also might have ‘infected’ work related and societal and political attitudes.“
