Authors: Wahyudi Roy , Zuraida Rida , Pangestu Felicia
Published: January 2024

Employees’ workload can be high when the existing manpower is limited and the list of jobs to do are long. For the employee, the workload may affect their job satisfaction and their performance in the long-term. Assessment of workload and its influence to job satisfaction was done at Sustainability and Operation Department of cultivates and harvests oil palms Company in Indonesia. The workload was measured using NASA-TLX that measure mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, and frustration. While job satisfaction is measured using a questionnaire about superiors’ support, colleagues assistance, remuneration, and promotion. The assessment result showed that employee’s workload in these departments was identified as rather high. This is coming from commonly overtime exists and high domestic traveling frequency. Besides that, there is a correlation between workload and job satisfaction. There is two correlations model, positive and negative. The high workload can improve the job satisfaction, but otherwise, it can decrease job satisfaction. To reduce the workload, information system and database suggested for the company to reduce the employee difficulty in accessing data to finish their job that caused excessive overtime.
Greenwashing – The Dark Side of Eco-Friendly Marketing. A Case Study from Slovakia
Authors: Seberíni Andrea , Izáková Katarína , Tokovská Miroslava
Published: January 2024

Greenwashing is the practice of making false or misleading claims about the environmental benefits of a product or service. The purpose of this study is to examine consumers’ perceptions and experiences in relation to the greenwashing tactics used by Slovak businesses within the framework of environmental health policy. In the present study, we used data obtained through an inductive qualitative research design according to consolidated criteria. From 14 participants aged 20-45, using reflexive thematic analysis, we analysed three semi-structured focus group interviews. Four descriptive themes were created: (1) Individual and interpersonal determinants of consumers; (2) Marketing and organisational determinants of brands; (3) Public policy of the environment and health of the Slovak Republic; and (4) Environmental sustainability and ecological protection. The findings of our study confirmed that greenwashing often relies on buzzwords to reel in consumers, making them believe that the products they purchase are biodegradable or ethically sourced. The observed deterioration of consumer trust in product brands as a reaction to greenwashing threatens the potential of green marketing and contributes to damaging the reputation of the producers. One solution could be disseminating information on how customers can verify the authenticity of organic products through public and social media.
In Silico Study on Natural Chemical Compounds from Citric Essential
Oils as Potential Inhibitors of an Omicron (BA.1) SARS-CoV-2 Mutants’
Spike Glycoprotein
Authors: Ovchynnykova Olha , Booth Jordhan D. , Cocroft Trey M. , Sukhyy Kostyantyn M. , Kapusta Karina
Published: January 2024

Background:

SARS-CoV-2's remarkable capacity for genetic mutation enables it to
swiftly adapt to environmental changes, influencing critical attributes, such as antigenicity and
transmissibility. Thus, multi-target inhibitors capable of effectively combating various viral mutants concurrently are of great interest.

Objective:

This study aimed to investigate natural compounds that could unitedly inhibit spike
glycoproteins of various Omicron mutants. Implementation of various in silico approaches allows us to scan a library of compounds against a variety of mutants in order to find the ones that
would inhibit the viral entry disregard of occurred mutations.

Methods:

An extensive analysis of relevant literature was conducted to compile a library
of chemical compounds sourced from citrus essential oils. Ten homology models representing
mutants of the Omicron variant were generated, including the latest 23F clade (EG.5.1),
and the compound library was screened against them. Subsequently, employing comprehensive
molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, we successfully identified
promising compounds that exhibited sufficient binding efficacy towards the receptor
binding domains (RBDs) of the mutant viral strains. The scoring of ligands was based on
their average potency against all models generated herein, in addition to a reference Omicron
RBD structure. Furthermore, the toxicity profile of the highest-scoring compounds was
predicted.

Results:

Out of ten built homology models, seven were successfully validated and showed to be
reliable for In Silico studies. Three models of clades 22C, 22D, and 22E had major deviations in
their secondary structure and needed further refinement. Notably, through a 100 nanosecond
molecular dynamics simulation, terpinen-4-ol emerged as a potent inhibitor of the Omicron
SARS-CoV-2 RBD from the 21K clade (BA.1); however, it did not show high stability in complexes with other mutants. This suggests the need for the utilization of a larger library of chemical compounds as potential inhibitors.

Conclusion:

The outcomes of this investigation hold significant potential for the utilization of a
homology modeling approach for the prediction of RBD’s secondary structure based on its sequence when the 3D structure of a mutated protein is not available. This opens the opportunities
for further advancing the drug discovery process, offering novel avenues for the development of
multifunctional, non-toxic natural medications.

Máquinas de fala: a escrita vocal de Samuel Beckett
Authors: Malufe Annita Costa
Published: January 2024

The article focuses on the vocal power that intensifies in Samuel Beckett's writing, especially in the latest works, with the objective of demonstrating the links between literature, dramaturgy, music and performance that are exemplarily outlined there from the exploration of the voice materiality. In order to do so, it proposes the notion of “speech machines” to define these texts that work with vocal material and constitute themselves as scores for speech music. The reader will then be the one who performs voices in the real time of his reading, even when silent; he is the performer of this writing, each time putting the rhythmic machines that are texts to work in his body. It is about thinking about the creation of these vocal lines in Beckett, in this writing that takes place from rhythms and sounds and invents new languages.
Questioning Borders in Adaptation and Illustration: Where the Wild Things Are and the Adaptation of Synchronically Illustrated Literature to Film
Authors: Silva Vitor Joel Alves
Published: January 2024

Using Where the Wild Things Are as a case study, this article aims to challenge prevailing paradigms within illustration and adaptation theory. Drawing on the concept of cooperation/competition, established definitions of illustration and the increasing trend of adapting picture books into films, I critically examine the limitations in the discourse within these fields, highlighting challenges in adequately addressing the objects they seek to explain. Through three key observations centered on synchronic illustration processes, subsequent adaptation networks, and Linda Hutcheon’s notion of the source text as a “haunting” mechanism, I identify inherent shortcomings in the referred paradigms, ultimately suggesting the need for additional qualitative and quantitative research.

Published: January 2024

SMEs face the problem of sustainability and readiness to implement digital transformation as part of the industrial revolution. Therefore, a process is needed to identify sustainability factors that can increase the readiness of SMEs to adopt digital change. This study aims to determine the influence of sustainability factors in the form of people, process, and technology that influence SMEs' readiness to adopt digital transformation. The research object is SMEs in various sectors with a literature study approach to develop a conceptual framework and data collection using a questionnaire. Construction testing and data analysis used statistical methods from confirmatory factor analysis, while the data testing process used the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The results of the study show that toward international orientation (IO) and digital transformation readiness (DT), the sustainable people (SPe) and sustainable process (SPo) factors have a substantial direct influence. However, on the contrary, the sustainable technology factor (STe) has a weak direct impact. In comparison, the IO factor has a significant effect on DT. As a mediator of DT, IO has an invalid role in mediating SPe and STe but significantly mediates SPo. The results also show that an independent attribute of 71.4% influences DT. While IO has an independent attribute effect of 49.4%.

Published: January 2024

Microalgae is widely recognized as a leading candidate for future bio-oil production, serving dual purposes: biodiesel generation and bioremediation. Identifying a sustainable cultivation medium is essential, aiming to minimize production costs. Landfill leachate emerges as a prospective growth medium for microalgae. However, due to the diverse substances within landfill leachate that may impede microalgal growth, careful selection of robust species becomes crucial. This study examined the growth of four microalgae species—Chlamydomonas reindhartii, Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella ovalis, and Nannochloropsis oculata—in landfill leachate. Prior to utilization, the landfill leachate underwent treatment to remove the total ammonium nitrogen (TAN). Cultivation spanned 30 days, during which various parameters, including ammonium removal, growth rate, and oil content, were monitored. Initially, all microalgae exhibited a decline in numbers, succeeded by a subsequent increase in concentration after several days. Results revealed Nannochloropsis oculata to have the highest growth rate, while Chlamydomonas reindhartii displayed the lowest. Generally, the oil content of all species at the end of cultivation was lower than that of their respective inocula. Chlorella vulgaris exhibited the highest oil content, followed by Chlamydomonas reindhartii, Chlorella ovalis, and Nannochloropsis oculata.

Public policies for preschool education in Angola: from formulation to implementatio, what has changed?
Authors: Dumbo Narciso , Sarmento Teresa
Published: January 2024

This text seeks to reflect on the nature of the formulation of the current public policy for preschool education in Angola. Based on documentary analysis of the main official and legislative documents, we see the involvement of the state in regional and international challenges has increased the development of a set of policy texts directed at children's rights. Thus, the question arises as to whether the public policy for preschool education, fragmented in normative instrumentalization and in national development programmes and plans, mimics and complies with the international Agendas, or if they are functional and indicative of social justice in education that allows for the mitigation of inequalities in access, especially for vulnerable children, in a context where out of 10 children from low-income families, only two children have guaranteed access to attendance.
Sail away, save a whale: ocean awareness in children’s books and picture books
Authors: Da Silva Martins Marisa
Published: January 2024

This article discusses two children's books, The Whale Watchers (2022), written by Dougie Poynter and illustrated by Amberin Huq, and Calling the Whales (2023), written by Jasbinder Bilan and illustrated by Skylar White, as well as one picture book, The Tale of the Whale (2022), written by Karen Swann and illustrated by Padmacandra. Highlighting the relationship between children and whales, the article draws upon ecocriticism and ecology in the context of children’s literature. Arguing that these narratives present both species as climate activists, the article also explores the significance of the text, not only for the purpose of exposing environmental issues, but by also contributing to environmental literacy and pedagogy. This article aims to conclude that whales’ representation throughout the narratives bestows ocean awareness, leading the children to experience and engage with the sea.

Authors: Domingos Barrera Sylvia , Kosmoski Silvestre Gatto Regiane
Published: January 2024

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of the DECOLE Program, applied by a teacher in natural classroom conditions, on preschoolers' emergent literacy skills. Fifty-three Brazilian children attending a public preschool participated (average age: 5 years and 7 months; standard deviation: 3.9 months), separeted into an Experimental Group (n=30) and a Control Group (n=23). Before and after the intervention, participants’ phonological awareness, vocabulary, oral comprehension, and letter knowledge skills were assessed. The results indicate that the groups were equivalent in the pre-test regarding the skills assessed. In the post-intervention, significant differences were observed in favor of the Experimental Group, which participated in the intervention, in phonological awareness, oral comprehension and vocabulary. The results suggest the effectiveness of the DECOLE Program, when applied in a natural classroom situation, for the development of emergent literacy skills considered highly relevant for learning to read and write.

Documentation Completeness and Nurses’ Perceptions of a Novel Electronic App for Medical Resuscitation in the Emergency Room: Mixed Methods Approach
Authors: Cheung Kin , Yip Chak Sum
Published: January 2024

Background

Complete documentation of critical care events in the accident and emergency department (AED) is essential. Due to the fast-paced and complex nature of resuscitation cases, missing data is a common issue during emergency situations.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a tablet-based resuscitation record on documentation completeness during medical resuscitations and nurses’ perceptions of the use of the tablet app.

Methods

A mixed methods approach was adopted. To collect quantitative data, randomized retrospective reviews of paper-based resuscitation records before implementation of the tablet (Pre-App Paper; n=176), paper-based resuscitation records after implementation of the tablet (Post-App Paper; n=176), and electronic tablet-based resuscitation records (Post-App Electronic; n=176) using a documentation completeness checklist were conducted. The checklist was validated by 4 experts in the emergency medicine field. The content validity index (CVI) was calculated using the scale CVI (S-CVI). The universal agreement S-CVI was 0.822, and the average S-CVI was 0.939. The checklist consisted of the following 5 domains: basic information, vital signs, procedures, investigations, and medications. To collect qualitative data, nurses’ perceptions of the app for electronic resuscitation documentation were obtained using individual interviews. Reporting of the qualitative data was guided by Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies (COREQ) to enhance rigor.

Results

A significantly higher documentation rate in all 5 domains (ie, basic information, vital signs, procedures, investigations, and medications) was present with Post-App Electronic than with Post-App Paper, but there were no significant differences in the 5 domains between Pre-App Paper and Post-App Paper. The qualitative analysis resulted in main categories of “advantages of tablet-based documentation of resuscitation records,” “challenges with tablet-based documentation of resuscitation records,” and “areas for improvement of tablet-based resuscitation records.”

Conclusions

This study demonstrated that higher documentation completion rates are achieved with electronic tablet-based resuscitation records than with traditional paper records. During the transition period, the nurse documenters faced general problems with resuscitation documentation such as multitasking and unique challenges such as software updates and a need to familiarize themselves with the app’s layout. Automation should be considered during future app development to improve documentation and redistribute more time for patient care. Nurses should continue to provide feedback on the app’s usability and functionality during app refinement to ensure a successful transition and future development of electronic documentation records.
Chinese Women’s Concept of Childbirth Based on the Social Media Topic “What Does Childbirth Mean to a Woman”: Content and Thematic Analysis
Authors: Yang Ting , Wu Yihan , Han Nuo , Liu Tianli
Published: January 2024

Background

In recent years, women’s fertility desire has attracted increasing attention in China.

Objective

This study aims to detect attitudes toward giving birth among young female users on Douban, a very popular Chinese social media platform.

Methods

A total of 2634 valid posts from 2489 users discussing the topic “What does childbirth mean to a woman” on Douban were crawled and retained for analysis. We utilized content and thematic analysis methods to capture users’ concepts of childbirth.

Results

The findings reveal that a significant majority of users conveyed generally neutral (1060/2634, 40.24%) or negative (1051/2634, 39.90%) attitudes toward childbirth, while only about one-fifth of users expressed positive (523/2634, 19.86%) sentiments. Notably, posts with negative attitudes garnered more replies and likes, and the proportion of posts expressing negativity exhibited fluctuations over time. Health risk (339/2634, 12.87%) emerged as the most frequently cited aspect of childbirth cost, with subjective happiness and the fulfillment of mental needs identified as primary benefits. Surprisingly, only a minimal number of posts (10/2634, 0.38%) touched upon the traditional objective benefits of raising children for old-age care. Thematic analysis results suggest that discussions about fertility on social media platforms might contribute to an exaggerated perception of health risks among women. Additionally, a lack of knowledge about childbirth was observed, partially attributable to longstanding neglect and avoidance of communication on these matters, likely influenced by traditional cultural biases. Moreover, there is a prevailing assumption that women should naturally sacrifice themselves for childbirth and childcare, influenced by the idealization of the female figure. Consequently, women may harbor hesitations about having a baby, fearing the potential loss of their own identity in the process.

Conclusions

The results indicate a shift in the perception of childbirth among modern Chinese women over time, influenced by their increasing social status and the pursuit of self-realization. Implementing strategies such as public education on the health risks associated with pregnancy and delivery, safeguarding women’s rights, and creating a supportive environment for mothers may enhance women’s willingness to undergo childbirth.

Linking Relationship Marketing to Customer Loyalty in The E-Banking Context: The Central Role of Customer Satisfaction
Authors: Hoang Dung Phuong
Published: January 2024

This research examines the interrelationships between relationship marketing, customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in e-banking’s context. The study was conducted in two phases: In-depth interviews and a quantitative survey with a sample of 690 Vietnamese individual and corporate e-banking customers. The research results show that customer satisfaction mediates the impact of relationship marketing on customer loyalty among individual customers. Meanwhile, instead of customer satisfaction, relationship marketing significantly and directly contributes to the loyalty of the corporate customer group. The significance and magnitude of the effects that the five dimensions of relationship marketing’s effectiveness have on customer satisfaction and loyalty, which include the banks’ commitment, customer experience, process-driven approach, service reliability and application of technology, are also different between the two customer segments. This study theoretically contributes to the research stream regarding the mechanism underlying the relationship between relationship marketing’s effectiveness and customer loyalty in the e-banking context, and proposes practical implications for commercial banks to effectively apply relationship marketing in the virtual business environment.

Authors: Ari Anggarawati Farida
Published: January 2024

Penelitian tentang konflik tanah keraton menggunakan pendekatan administratif, sosial, dan ekonomi. Konflik yang terjadi seakan memosisikan pemerintah memilliki kedudukan yang lebih tinggi daripada keraton. Berbagai kasus menunjukkan kebijakan resmi cenderung sangat jauh berbeda dari realitas sebenarnya, keraton masih menguasai tanah adatnya. Seharusnya, konflik tanah keraton dapat dilihat dari perspektif negara (institusi). Melihat, keraton secara historiografi adalah kerajaan yang berdaulat dengan kebudayaannya yang khas. Artikel ini membahas penguasaan tanah Baluwarti sebagai kontestasi antara negara lama dan negara baru dengan menggunakan game theory antara keraton Kasunanan dan pemerintah kota Surakarta. Relasi kedua negara dijelaskan sebagai aktor rasional yang bertindak sesuai strategi yang telah direncanakan secara maksimal untuk menguasai tanah Baluwarti. Metode penelitian berupa studi lapangan, wawancara interaktif, dari studi kepustakaan, berita media online, dan penelitian terdahulu. Ditemukan ada ketidakjelasan status tanah Baluwarti merupakan strategi yang dipakai kedua aktor untuk mengendalikan tanah Baluwarti. Pemerintah memilih berkonflik dengan keraton Kasunanan di luar tanah Baluwarti dan membuat citra keraton Kasunanan semakin menurun untuk mendapatkan legitimasi dari masyarakat Baluwarti. Sementara itu, Keraton Kasunanan bertahan dengan strateginya untuk tetap menguasai tanah Baluwarti dengan glorifikasi peraturan adatnya dan narasi-narasi jasa keraton Kasunanan kepada Indonesia.
Kontestasi Nilai-Nilai Asia dan Hak Asasi Manusia di Indonesia Tahun 1991-1999
Authors: Hasanah Mahesti
Published: January 2024

Tulisan ini mendiskusikan tentang kontestasi nilai-nilai Asia dan penegakan norma HAM di Indonesia tahun 1991-1999 pada masa akhir pemerintahan Soeharto dan awal pasca Reformasi. Saat itu, para pemimpin ASEAN termasuk Indonesia, gencar menggaungkan nilai-nilai Asia. Nilai Asia pada masa Soeharto mengedepankan gotong-royong dan mendiskreditkan hak individu; serta membatasi kebebasan berpendapat dan berekspresi melalui program Pancasila (P4). Penelitian ini menunjukkan keterkaitan bagaimana rezim otoritarian menggunakan nilai-nilai Asia dan norma HAM untuk tujuan politik. Hak sipil dan politik menjadi dasar norma HAM yang didengungkan masyarakat sipil dan dunia internasional untuk menekan pemerintah Indonesia. Perkembangan HAM tidak bisa dipisahkan dari wacana demokrasi. Hal ini dikarenakan norma demokrasi merupakan bagian integral dari realisasi HAM. Dengan menggunakan kerangka teoretis pilihan rasional, artikel ini berargumen bahwa pemimpin Indonesia menggunakan nilai-nilai Asia dan norma HAM sebagai instrumen dan tujuan politik. Tujuan artikel ini untuk menginvestigasi karakter otoritas pemerintah Orde Baru menggunakan nilai-nilai Asia dan norma HAM sebagai instrumen politik. Dari sisi metodologi, penelitian ini melihat kembali kajian literatur yang berargumen jika norma bersifat konstruktivis dan mampu membentuk identitas dan memengaruhi perilaku aktor. Berbeda dengan studi yang ada, pendekatan rasional dalam tulisan ini memberikan alternatif lain untuk melihat pemaknaan norma dalam perkembangan HAM di Indonesia.

Breast Cancer (BC) is a major universal health problem. Early detection and precise diagnosis are vital for enlightening outcomes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can potentially revolutionize the field of BC by providing quantitative representations of medical images to assist in segmentation, diagnosis, and prognosis. AI can improve image quality, detect and segment breast lesions, classify cancer and predict its behavior, and integrate data from multiple sources to predict clinical outcomes. It can lead to more personalized and effective treatment for BC patients. Challenges faced by AI in real-life solicitations include data curation, model interpretability, and run-through guidelines. However, the clinical implementation of AI is expected to deliver vital guidance for patient-tailored management. BC is a major global health problem; early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes. Imaging detection is a key screening, diagnosis, and treatment effectiveness assessment tool. However, the irresistible number of images creates a heavy capacity for radiologists and delays reporting. AI has the potential to revolutionize BC imaging by improving efficiency and accuracy. AI can recognize, segment, and diagnose tumor lesions automatically and analyze tumor images on a molecular level. It could lead to more personalized treatment strategies. However, AI-assisted imaging diagnosis is still in its early stages of development, and more research is needed to validate its clinical effectiveness. Therefore, AI is a promising new technology that has the potential to progress the diagnosis and treatment of BC, and AI-assisted imaging diagnosis is a promising new technology for improving the early detection and diagnosis of BC. More research is needed to bring this technology to clinical practice.

Published: January 2024

Cancer immunotherapy has proven effective in treating malignant diseases, but only a small percentage of patients experience completeand durable responses to current treatments. This highlights the need for more effective immunotherapies, combination treatments, andpredictive biomarkers. The molecular properties of a tumor, intratumor heterogeneity, and the tumor immune microenvironment are key targetsfor precision cancer medicine. Humanized mice that support the engraftment of patient-derived tumors and recapitulate the human tumorimmune microenvironment of patients represent a promising preclinical model for addressing fundamental questions in precision immuno-oncology and cancer immunotherapy. The microenvironmental physiology of tumors is unique from normal tissues, characterized by oxygendepletion, glucose and energy deprivation, high lactate levels, and extracellular acidosis. Hypoxia and other hostile microenvironmental parameterscan confer resistance to irradiation, leading to treatment failure. Pretreatment assessment of critical microenvironmental parameters is neededto select patients who could benefit from special treatment approaches, such as hypoxia-targeting therapy. Acquired resistance to varioustherapeutic interventions is a hallmark of cancer, and the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in cancer progression, particularlytherapeutic resistance. Targeting the TME as an essential strategy to overcome cancer resistance and improve therapeutic outcomes throughprecise intervention is highly desired. Cell stem cells (CSCs) play a pivotal role in tumorigenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis. Theinflammatory microenvironment is an essential component of the tumor microenvironment, and understanding the key factors that exertimportant actions in the tumor process would be important to improve clinical outcomes.
Critical Friendship After the Pandemic
Authors: Abi-Rached Joelle M.
Published: January 2024

Are critique and the “art of governing” antithetical? The aim of this article is to examine this tension that was laid bare by the Covid-19 pandemic by introducing “critical friendship” as a conceptual framework for a constructive interdisciplinary engagement with science in a post-pandemic era. It does so by drawing on several works and insights: (i) Michel Foucault’s notion of “critical attitude” as well as his assessment of philosophy as providing a “diagnosis of the present;” (ii) Bruno Latour and colleagues’ idea of a “critical zone” or what I call a horizontal epistemology of critique; (iii) Aristotle’s notion of friendship as being necessary for the “common good;” and finally (iv) Jacques Derrida’s interpretation of the messianic character of friendship in the constitution of progressive democracies. Whereas critical theory has been described as either “explanatory-diagnostic” or “emancipatory-utopian,” a critical friendship approach aims to be both diagnostic and emancipatory in an age of uncertainty and democratic backsliding.
A Critique of Pandemic Reason: Towards a Syndemic Noso-Politics
Authors: Vélez Vega Jorge , Noguera-Solano Ricardo
Published: January 2024

The main objective of this article is to provide a critique of the pandemic strategy suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO) and implemented by various countries from March 2020 onwards in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China. Based on the theories of Michel Foucault, this critique aims to show that, in the first instance, the pandemic may be understood in terms of the art of governing human beings at the point of interaction between politics and medicine; secondly, in Foucauldian terminology, such interaction may be referred to as ‘noso-politics’, that is, a mechanism used to control the body of the population via authoritarian measures exercised in the name of the health of the population; thirdly, such a mechanism exercises its power by invoking a mechanistic truth about the SARS-CoV-2 virus which may be countered by an argument that takes a historical perspective on the virus; fourthly, the pandemic strategy may be opposed by a syndemic approach that takes into account interactions between emerging diseases such as COVID-19 and non-communicable illnesses, as well as the biological and socio-economic conditions that the well-being of the population depends on. In short, by providing a critique of the politics of truth about the pandemic, the virus, and health measures, the article aims to encourage a critical attitude that will challenge both the authorities and the truth they invoke to prevent the pandemic strategy being used as a mechanism for governing, given the predictions of the recurrent emergence of new viruses.
Foucault Meets Novel Coronavirus: Biosociality, Excesses of Governmentality and the “Will to Live” of the Pandemicariat
Authors: Bhowmick Subhendra , Alam Mursed
Published: January 2024

This essay situates Foucault`s ideas of ‘biopower’ and ‘governmentality’ within the Indian context of the Covid emergency, analysing how the excesses of ‘biopolitical’ and the authoritarian forms of ‘governmentality’ evoke a radical re-reading of Foucault within Covid-infested India. We argue how pre-existing ‘discursive’ conditions of biomedical, digital, and neoliberal India facilitated more majoritarian and undemocratic forms of (bio)politics during the Indian experience of the pandemic, exposing the migrant workers in particular to tremendous ‘precarity’ and turning them into pandemicariat. To meet our theoretical ends, we investigate through forging links between Foucauldian theory – consisting of a set of concepts like biopolitics, anatomo-politics, governmentality etc— and ideas like transmuted biosociality, truncated sociality, will to live, pandemicariat etc.  Current conditions of truncated sociality render human bodies more ‘discursively’ available for ‘biomedical’ and ‘biopolitical’ interventions, disempowering people’s capacity to sustain the more synthetic biosocial substances of conviviality. However, following Agamben’s early controversial stance for braving the virus, we would like to envisage “life” to be more than “survival” alone. We would also argue that the hard times of the pandemic invoke a new grammar of the “will to live” that was practised by the pandemicariat against heavy odds.
