“…In this context, the pandemic is the problem and the vaccine the solution (e.g. Berrocal et al, 2021 ; Best, 2020 ; Billig, 2021 ). The media frames the pandemic by using different rhetorical resources to evoke fear and/or gain disciplinary power over the public, or to hold the public’s attention (e.g.…”

“…There is a need for additional knowledge about how a nation’s media discourses can be used to recruit individuals to engage in collective actions in response to the pandemic ( Berrocal et al, 2021 ; Poulakidakos, 2021 ). Therefore, a focal question is what subject positions media reports make available for individuals during the pandemic.…”

“…How the media framed the pandemic has been studied by several researchers (e.g. Berrocal et al, 2021 ; Best, 2020 ; Billig, 2021 ; Craig, 2020 ; Einboden, 2020 ; Milutinović, 2021 ; Mohammed et al, 2021 ; Poulakidakos, 2021 ). Politics, economics and ideologies play an important role in reproducing and legitimising versions of reality (cf.…”

“…Fairclough, 1995 ; Van Dijk, 1988 , 1998 ) and has therefore been the focus of studies regarding media discourses on the pandemic. Different rhetorical resources have been used to form the media discourse on the COVID-19 pandemic, such as metaphors ( Craig, 2020 ; Milutinović, 2021 ; Semino, 2021 ), the politics of how to label the pandemic ( Berrocal et al, 2021 ; Poulakidakos, 2021 ), numbers and/or statistics ( Best, 2020 , 2021 ; Billig, 2021 ), photographs of citizens in different age groups ( Martikainen and Sakki, 2021 ) and the rhetorical use of nurses as a specific category ( Boulton et al, 2022 ; Einboden, 2020 ; Mohammed et al, 2021 ). Nurses on the COVID-19 frontline have been framed as ‘heroines’ or ‘heroes’.…”

“…The media’s use of citizen’s photographs to portray COVID-19 constructs both the social representations and identities of groups ( Martikainen and Sakki, 2021 ). Within the discourse, in-groups and out-groups are formed, based on and expressed by individuals’ motivations, ideologies, self-categorisations, actions and shared values ( Berrocal et al, 2021 ). Martikainen and Sakki’s (2021) visual rhetoric analysis reveals several subject positions related to age, for example, adults as authoritative experts, adaptive professionals, responsible caretakers or active recreationist.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has dominated the global media since 2020. To a large extent, it is via the news media that the public has learned about the risks, levels of danger, governmental regulations and mandatory actions. This article highlights the subject positions constructed by the Swedish news media from January 2020 to February 2021 in reports about the pandemic. The result shows that citizens can be active-passive or solitary solidarity, these positions appeal to individual accountability, thus potentially shaping and fostering citizens in line with the Swedish government’s wider response to the pandemic. The news media’s images are of self-regulated citizens who govern and discipline themselves and others according to the current discourses, all of which simultaneously evoke fear, togetherness and hope. The ideological dilemmas for citizens are whether to be active-passive or, if necessary, switch to the solitary solidarity subject position.

In this study, we conduct a detailed analysis of qualitative survey data focusing on adult populations in the UK, Japan and Mexico to address the following question: How has the COVID-19 pandemic changed people’s lived experience of their bodies, other people’s bodies and the world? We identify five themes: (i) fear and danger, (ii) bodily doubt and hypervigilance, (iii) risk and trust, (iv) adapting and enduring and (v) changes in perspective. We use two theoretical frameworks: first, Mary Douglas’ anthropological work on purity, risk, danger and symbolism is applied to understand how social and cultural meanings attached to the body have changed during the pandemic. Second, we use the concept of bodily doubt developed by Havi Carel to interpret how people experience their bodies and other people’s bodies differently during the pandemic. While we recognise the significant variation in people’s embodied experience of the pandemic, our findings suggest there are commonalities that span different countries and cultures. Specifically, we look at responses to COVID-19 protective countermeasures such as national lockdowns and physical distancing which we suggest have reduced people’s ability to put faith in their own bodies, trust other people and trust the political leadership. We conclude by proposing that the changes to our lived experience during the COVID-19 pandemic have prompted changes in perspective and a renewed focus on what people consider important in life from a social, moral, cultural and political point of view.
