Abstract

In this article I describe the transition of a group of university students in Australia into an online learning environment during COVID-19 pandemic disruptions. I reflect upon my intersubjective experiences as the lecturer in an unexpected situation of urgency and physical distancing. Research has acknowledged synchronous virtual learning contexts as less psychologically distancing than previously thought. I argue that these contexts can foster profound intimacy between participants through linguistic and multimodal means. I use an auto-ethnographic narrative inquiry approach to share observations gained retrospectively through multimodal, critically reflexive, social semiotic discourse analysis of audio-visual recordings of synchronous workshops conducted in 2020. I attempt to fill the gap in research on intimacy in online educational settings by suggesting that intimacy can be created by linguaplay, personal testimonies, and contrived chaotic material ecologies. I advocate moving away from an obsession with standardising and generating student knowledge in formal online learning to a stance that values intimacy, connection, and spontaneity.

网络课堂中的亲密关系
在这篇文章中,我描述了在新冠肺炎疫情中断期间,澳大利亚一群大学生向在线学习环境的转变。作为一名讲师,我在一种意想不到的紧迫感和身体距离的情况下反思自己的主体间体验。研究已经承认,同步虚拟学习环境在心理上的距离比以前想象的要小。我认为,这些语境可以通过语言和多模式的方式促进参与者之间的深刻亲密关系。我使用自动民族志叙事探究方法,分享通过对2020年同步研讨会的视听记录进行多模态、批判性反射性、社会符号学话语分析而获得的回顾性观察。我试图填补在线教育环境中亲密关系研究的空白,提出亲密关系可以通过语言游戏、个人证词和人为混乱的物质生态来创造。我主张从痴迷于在正式的在线学习中标准化和生成学生知识转变为重视亲密、联系和自发性的立场。
