cord-027047-xlz576hm	Koh, Vanessa	The Singaporean State and Community Care in the Time of Corona	2020-06-04		.txt	text/plain	3514	141	51	Following Aulino, and contra some of the rhetoric of aid organizations, we take seriously care-as-maintenance as a valid approach to care in the time of Covid-19, and note that competence on the part of state actors and policy-makers has little to do with sentiment or "concern" per se in terms of daily problem-solving and an overall moral orientation. Rather than adding to existing critiques of the state's lack of care-as-concern, we focus instead on the structural issue of Singapore's policies around migrant labor in Singapore that now renders present techniques of care-as-maintenance as insufficient. Of-the-moment responses in the time of Covid-19 may, therefore, fail to highlight areas of provision most needed for migrants in Singapore, beyond perceived insufficiencies in both care-as-concern and care-as-maintenance frameworks. Care-as-maintenance can also be a serious crisis response, but its apparent insufficiencies must be read within a larger context of structural inequalities that dispossess short-term migrant laborers in Singapore, rather than simply a lack of accompanying care-as-concern.	./cache/cord-027047-xlz576hm.txt	./txt/cord-027047-xlz576hm.txt
