Reagire alla pandemia: l’arte e la ricerca che (r)esistono

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the ‘situated art’ and on the geo-social methodology of research. The centralization of daily activities in the domestic spaces, caused by the pandemic, has had important repercussions on the topic of the doctoral research – the artistic use of public space – and on the ‘design’ of the research itself. So, the aims of the work are to show how a research project can change as needed and how the geo-social researcher must constantly adapt to reality and its transformations. In addition to presenting the criticalities encountered by ‘buskers’ and by the researcher, particular importance will be given to the alternative working methods introduced to overcome this collective crisis.
