<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Pandemic Citizenship Special Edition of <i>Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guest editors, Sean Redmond and Jian Xu<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The cultural representations and discourses of the Covid-19 pandemic have taken up two central pillars: one where citizenship and civility are seen to break down and the forces of exploitative global capitalism take greater hold; and one
where productive citizenship is activated through acts of kindness, generosity, and heroism, or through resistance and protest strategies. These representations and discourses often sit side by side, revealing both the ideological contradictions inherent in
the representations and discourses of Covid-19, and the economic and social divisions that in part have shaped human responses to the pandemic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What interests this special edition is this dialectic: Covid-19 being the prism through which we can see how contemporary life moves and is moved by the tectonic plates of global capitalism. This dialectical approach allows us to explore
how the pandemic has been majorly mobilized to shine a light on productive citizenship and the way ‘everyday’ agency has energized and renewed forms of creative participation in the social world. Conversely, the dialectic of the pandemic has also allowed us
to question whether these forms of productive citizenship have in fact destabilized the power structures of global capitalism or are demotic only – illusionary in their ability to be reformatory.<o:p></o:p></p>
