Abstract

The Journal of the Plague Year: A COVID-19 Archive (JOTPY) is a digital, crowdsourced archive collecting pandemic stories from around the globe. It encourages students and the public to submit stories of personal experiences during the pandemic. The project builds on the rich work of rapid-response archives in museum studies, oral history, anthropology, and disaster studies. JOTPY reconceptualizes the COVID-19 pandemic as a “slow disaster”: not a singular crisis, but an ongoing calamity provoked by deep historical, sociopolitical, and cultural processes that COVID-19 both reflects and highlights. In order to address the challenges of documenting a slow disaster, we propose employing the rolling-response archive model. We argue that the current pandemic has changed our understanding of crises and of how to document them ethically and equitably.

慢灾难和自适应归档

《瘟疫年杂志:COVID-19档案》(JOTPY)是一个数字众包档案，收集了来自全球各地的大流行故事。它鼓励学生和公众提交大流行期间的个人经历。该项目建立在博物馆研究、口述历史、人类学和灾害研究领域丰富的快速反应档案工作的基础上。JOTPY将2019冠状病毒病大流行重新定义为一场“缓慢的灾难”:不是一场单一的危机，而是一场持续的灾难，由深刻的历史、社会政治和文化进程引发，COVID-19既反映了这一进程，也凸显了这一进程。为了解决记录缓慢灾难的挑战，我们建议采用滚动响应存档模型。我们认为，当前的大流行病改变了我们对危机的理解，也改变了我们对如何以道德和公平的方式记录危机的理解。
