Abstract

The manner in which individuals worldwide shared art during the most challenging months of the COVID-19 pandemic stands as one of the most significant instances of creative social resistance in recent history. As a collective tool of resistance against emotional trauma, and as a means to foster a sense of community and well-being, the study of this phenomenon offers a compelling avenue for research into creativity and its social functions. This paper presents a descriptive case study of a successful 50-day collective experience within a neighborhood community in Madrid, Spain, during a period when the city, as a notably exceptional case study for research, bore one of the heaviest burdens of COVID-19 in the world. Data were gathered through in-depth personal interviews and direct observations. Applying a connected approach drawing on the fields of the Sociology of Art and Media Studies, three key findings emerge: (1) participants emphasized shared live artistic performances as the primary catalyst for fostering a sense of community, collective resilience, and overall well-being; (2) their sense of togetherness was further bolstered by digital and media support, as recordings of live performances were shared with loved ones living elsewhere, as well as with journalists and on social networks. This network of communication played a pivotal role in connecting individuals; (3) the combined efforts of both initiatives contributed to the development of a more positive individual and shared narrative surrounding the crisis.
2020年封锁期间,在马德里分享艺术作为每日抵抗策略:圣贝纳多广场的50天集体经验
在COVID-19大流行最具挑战性的几个月里,世界各地的个人分享艺术的方式是近代史上创造性社会抵抗的最重要实例之一。作为抵抗情感创伤的集体工具,作为培养社区意识和幸福感的手段,对这一现象的研究为研究创造力及其社会功能提供了一个引人注目的途径。本文介绍了西班牙马德里一个社区内成功的50天集体经验的描述性案例研究,在此期间,作为一个显著例外的研究案例研究,该市承受了世界上最沉重的COVID-19负担之一。通过深入的个人访谈和直接观察收集数据。运用艺术社会学和媒体研究领域的关联方法,得出了三个关键发现:(1)参与者强调共享的现场艺术表演是培养社区意识、集体适应力和整体幸福感的主要催化剂;(2)数字和媒体的支持进一步增强了他们的团聚感,因为现场表演的录音被分享给住在其他地方的亲人,以及记者和社交网络。这种沟通网络在连接个人方面发挥了关键作用;(3)两项倡议的共同努力有助于围绕危机形成更积极的个人和共同的叙述。
