Welcome to the tenth podcast in our series ‘Life in the Time of Coronavirus’ in which Pushpa Arabindoo, Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at UCL, explores the moral, social and pragmatic implications of lockdown. She looks, especially, to the specific case of the Koyambedu market complex in Chennai, dependent on crowds for its functioning but also thought to be the hotspot of a third of Covid infections in the regional state of Tamil Nadu. What happens, she asks, when we juxtapose the moral authority of the lockdown with the moral economy of the crowd?
