Abstract

Our study explored 13 university members’ sensemaking and resilience around remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that “affective sensemaking” ran throughout our data and exposed the vulnerabilities and uncertainties that we called relational precarities. Affective sensemaking of relational precarities encapsulated sensate experiences or intensities entangled with the fragmented, fluid, and non-linear nature of processes in the Communication Theory of Resilience (CTR) and their adaptive-transformative dynamics. Evidence of how participants adapted, transformed, and embodied resilience during moments fraught with relational precarity emerged through three themes or practices: (dis)connecting relationally precarious networks, intertwining contradictory affect-place-self-presentation, and performing and feeling (in)visible. We contribute to CTR and organizing by centering fragility, affect, and relational precarity as key to understanding the being-becoming of resilience.

关系缺陷的情感感知：在大流行病中转变为远程工作的复原力

我们的研究探讨了 13 名大学成员在 COVID-19 大流行期间对远程工作的感性认识和应变能力。我们发现，"情感感知 "贯穿于我们的数据中，暴露了我们称之为 "关系危险性 "的脆弱性和不确定性。对关系不稳定性的感性认识囊括了与抗灾能力沟通理论（CTR）及其适应-转变动态过程的碎片化、流动性和非线性性质纠缠在一起的感性经验或强度。参与者如何在充满关系不稳定性的时刻适应、转变和体现复原力的证据通过三个主题或实践浮现出来：（不）连接关系不稳定性的网络、交织矛盾的情感-场所-自我呈现，以及表演和感觉（不）可见。我们以脆弱性、情感和关系不稳定性为中心，将其作为理解复原力 "存在-形成 "的关键，从而为 CTR 和组织工作做出贡献。
