Abstract

In the last few months, the song Years (Años) by the Cuban musician Pablo Milanés, famously interpreted by the Argentine Mercedes Sosa, has been repeating over and over in my head. Where and how have the years gone by? Especially the last three years are blurry in my memory. The COVID-19 pandemic has, among other things, caused havoc to my notion of time. When we launched our editorial leadership in 2017, we had a series of objectives that we summarized under three themes: openness, dialogue and connection (Brizuela, 2018). In 2016, when I accepted the Editor-in-Chief position, which began in January 2017, never could I have imagined what we would live through in the following years, and especially what we have lived through since March 2020. I still remember those first two weeks of March 2020, when we were receiving news of the spread of COVID-19 in Asia and then across Europe, Seattle and New York. During those weeks I stopped shaking hands, choosing instead to bow. I started to cancel in-person meetings and to use Zoom instead. Before March 2020 I had only heard about Zoom occasionally, and definitely had not used it as a verb! And on Friday 13 March, I left my office thinking I would return in a couple of weeks. I even left behind my poor little plants! In the following months and year I would only go back into my office in person a few times, always on the weekend so I wouldn’t bump into anyone. I was able to recover my little plants, which still survive! Suddenly, the themes of openness, dialogue and connection that we proposed in 2016 when launching our editorial leadership took on different, deeper meanings, and would be relevant not only to our editorial work in the journal but to our everyday lives as well. The confinement and social distancing measures would make us yearn for openness. At the same time, the extreme openness of a global world, added to a highly and easily transmissible virus, contributed to the spread of the virus throughout the world in record time. Our need for dialogue, and the importance of dialogue in all areas of our life, led us to use new platforms that we had not used before. We became familiar with Zoom ‘breakout rooms’, where we sought to reproduce the intimacy of conversations in small groups. We held different celebrations on Zoom (I celebrated my fiftieth birthday on Zoom and with videos sent from across the world!), and we used WhatsApp and its different functions to their fullest

即将离任的编辑评论:时间流逝(即将离任的编辑评论:时间流逝)
在过去的几个月里,古巴音乐家巴勃罗·米兰萨姆斯的歌曲《岁月》(Años)在我的脑海里一遍又一遍地重复,阿根廷人梅塞德斯·索萨(Mercedes Sosa)对这首歌进行了著名的演绎。这些年在哪里,怎么过去的?尤其是最近三年,在我的记忆中是模糊的。除其他外,COVID-19大流行对我的时间观念造成了严重破坏。当我们在2017年启动我们的编辑领导时,我们有一系列的目标,我们总结为三个主题:开放、对话和联系(Brizuela, 2018)。2016年,当我接受2017年1月开始的总编辑职位时,我从来没有想象过我们在接下来的几年里会经历什么,特别是我们从2020年3月开始经历了什么。我仍然记得2020年3月的前两周,当时我们收到了COVID-19在亚洲蔓延的消息,然后蔓延到欧洲、西雅图和纽约。在那几个星期里,我不再握手,而是选择鞠躬。我开始取消面对面的会议,转而使用Zoom。在2020年3月之前,我只是偶尔听说过Zoom,而且绝对没有把它用作动词!3月13日星期五,我离开了办公室,以为几周后就会回来。我甚至把我可怜的小植物都留下了!在接下来的几个月和一年里,我只会亲自回办公室几次,而且总是在周末,这样我就不会碰到任何人。我能够恢复我的小植物,它们仍然存活!突然之间,我们在2016年成立编辑部时提出的开放、对话和联系的主题有了不同的、更深层次的含义,不仅与我们在期刊上的编辑工作有关,也与我们的日常生活有关。限制和保持社会距离的措施会让我们渴望开放。与此同时,全球世界的极度开放,加上一种高度易传播的病毒,促使该病毒以创纪录的时间在全球传播。我们对对话的需求,以及对话在我们生活各个领域的重要性,促使我们使用以前从未使用过的新平台。我们熟悉了Zoom的“分组讨论室”,在那里我们试图重现小组对话的亲密感。我们在Zoom上举行了不同的庆祝活动(我在Zoom上庆祝了我的50岁生日,并播放了来自世界各地的视频!),我们充分利用了WhatsApp及其不同的功能
