    y separately published work icon Portal The Great Dis-Equalizer : The Covid-19 Crisis Special Issue vol. 17 no. 1-2 2020 21058007 2020 periodical issue 'The COVID-19 crisis—as much economic and political as biological and affective—is a shared global event that made present the fragility of the world we live in. The crisis was quickly heralded as the onset of a new normal, as media and political elites rushed to reassure us that the pandemic was the ‘great equalizer’ and that we all had to come together in solidarity to defeat the spread of the virus. The tendency to universalize the lived experience of the crisis and living in lockdown by asking people to adapt to the ‘new normal’ by appealing to their sense of vulnerability and affective bonds, only served to underscore that the pandemic did not, in fact, affect people equally. This special issue of PORTAL presents diverse accounts of living in lockdown or through the pandemic in ways that significantly unsettle the narrative of the COVID-19 crisis as the ‘great equalizer.’ The collection hosts a series of self-reflective essays and cultural works that discuss the authors’ individual experiences of the COVID-19 crisis in diverse contexts, including Australia, South and North America, Asia, Africa and Europe. The collection of first-hand narrative accounts aims to contribute to reframing the pandemic as the ‘great dis-equalizer.’' (Nicholas Manganas and Alice Loda, A Borrowed Life: Introduction to the Great Dis-Equalizer—the COVID-19 Crisis editorial introduction) 2020
