Constructing Selves in (Im)mobility: Greek Women’s Narratives Concerning the COVID-19 Lockdowns in Athens, Greece
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The present article examines women’s narratives concerning the COVID-19 pandemic experience in Athens, Greece. The spacetime contexts that women construct to situate this experience involve the city and the house, the former involving historical and cosmological temporalities, and the second a ritualized domestic tempo that gradually becomes disorganized. In these spatiotemporal formations women develop performative acts of individuality and singularity that end up as explorations of mainly ungendered, bodily selves that exist in the emptiness of a short-term, suspended pandemic present.
