Abstract

The disruptions to everyday life wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic include distortions in the experience of time, as reported widely by ordinary citizens and observed by journalists and social scientists. But how does this temporal disruption play out in different time scales-in the individual day as opposed to the medium- and long-term futures? And how might place influence how individuals experience and understand the pandemic's temporal transformations? This essay examines a range of temporal disruptions reported in day diaries and surveys submitted to the Everyday Life in Middletown project, an online archive that has been documenting ordinary life in Muncie, Indiana, USA since 2016. Viewing these materials as instances of life writing, the essay probes the interactions between temporal disruptions and the local setting as they inflect the autobiographical selves our writers construct in their pandemic writings. It shows how living in Muncie-a postindustrial city with its particular combination of historical, demographic, economic, social, and political dynamics-structures the autobiographical stories available to our writers, and how the disruption of time produces new variations and problems for life writing. In the midst of a global crisis, we glimpse the pandemic's reshaping of a local structure of feeling in which a pervasive, local narrative of civic decline frames individual self-fashioning.

时间转移:流行病日常生活中的地点、归属和未来方向。
正如普通公民广泛报道和记者和社会科学家所观察到的那样,COVID-19大流行对日常生活造成的破坏包括对时间经验的扭曲。但是,在不同的时间尺度上,这种暂时的破坏是如何发挥作用的——在个别的一天,而不是中长期的未来?地点会如何影响个人对大流行的时间变化的体验和理解?本文研究了提交给Middletown日常生活项目的日常日记和调查中报告的一系列时间中断,该项目是一个在线档案,自2016年以来一直记录着美国印第安纳州曼西市的日常生活。将这些材料视为生活写作的实例,本文探讨了时间中断和当地环境之间的相互作用,因为它们影响了我们的作家在他们的流行病写作中构建的自传式自我。它展示了生活在慕尼黑——一个历史、人口、经济、社会和政治动态的特殊组合的后工业城市——是如何为我们的作家构建自传体故事的,以及时间的中断是如何为生活写作带来新的变化和问题的。在一场全球危机中,我们看到大流行正在重塑一种地方情感结构,在这种结构中,普遍存在的关于公民衰落的地方叙事塑造了个人的自我塑造。
