Abstract

ABSTRACT In the lockdown era researchers and writers must engage in new ways of working, especially in the realm of field work. On the ground field work is a key characteristic of much diasporic third generation Holocaust literature: place becomes a substitute for experience and a key aspect of connection to history. But when a pandemic hits, what is to be done when international travel becomes impossible? This paper explores the medium of virtual field work: in lieu of an ‘on the ground’ expedition, the writer/researcher engages in virtual exploration situated between documentary material and imagined worlds. Through this analysis I argue that virtual field work can offer a unique, multi-faceted field work experience, and given the similar necessity for imagination as a tool for connection, lends itself to the third-generation Holocaust writer’s investigation.
想象中的航行:虚拟探索、体现和创造性实践的新冠肺炎方法
摘要在封锁时代,研究人员和作家必须采用新的工作方式,尤其是在实地工作领域。实地实地工作是许多流散的第三代大屠杀文学的一个关键特征:地点成为经验的替代品,也是与历史联系的一个重要方面。但是,当疫情来袭时,当国际旅行变得不可能时,该怎么办?本文探索了虚拟实地工作的媒介:作者/研究人员在纪录片材料和想象世界之间进行虚拟探索,而不是“实地”探险。通过这一分析,我认为虚拟实地工作可以提供一种独特的、多方面的实地工作体验,并且考虑到想象力作为联系工具的类似必要性,这有助于第三代大屠杀作家的调查。
