Abstract

When the COVID-19 pandemic happened, people and sectors of society needed to adjust specific norms and standards to fit into the demands of the time. This paper is an autoethnography of my experiences as a mother-teacher during the peak of the pandemic. It is in the context of my experiences and other mother-teachers working from home, conflicts in the roles played by mother-teachers at home, the expectation of society, and social norms. It is about how I perceived my reproductive and productive roles. Moreover, I interviewed mother-teachers, and their stories served as counter and conforming narratives to my narratives. The following are emerging themes: the unprecedented time; a mother is born; off the rhythm; and silver lining. These themes discussed the various phases mother-teachers grappled upon and triumphed. Writing this autoethnography was a therapeutic experience for the high emotions I had to deal with during the pandemic.
《妈妈夫人:在COVID-19大流行期间担任教师和母亲的自我民族志》
当新冠肺炎大流行发生时,人们和社会各阶层需要调整具体的规范和标准,以适应时代的要求。这篇论文是我在疫情高峰期作为一名母亲教师的经历的民族志。这是在我和其他在家工作的母亲教师的经历、母亲教师在家中扮演的角色的冲突、社会的期望和社会规范的背景下发生的。这是关于我如何看待我的生殖和生产角色。此外,我采访了母亲的老师,他们的故事与我的故事背道而驰。以下是新出现的主题:前所未有的时代;母亲出生;偏离节奏;和一线希望。这些主题讨论了母亲教师努力奋斗和取得胜利的各个阶段。写这本民族志是对我在疫情期间不得不应对的高涨情绪的一种治疗体验。
