Abstract

ABSTRACT What I term “the return to craft” is a distillation of a pervasive phenomenon – the nostalgic, folk esthetic of contemporary Western society that has arisen partly in response to the Covid-19 pandemic but also to neoliberalism and climate change. It arises as a reaction to turmoil, offering the comfort of an imagined past, a tangible tactility, and a reconnection with the “old ways,” with nature, and the wild. In this paper, I explore the return to craft as a societal search for foundations via a case-study of its most commercially successful lockdown output, Taylor Swift’s folklore (2020).
回归工艺:泰勒·斯威夫特,怀旧和Covid-19
摘要我所说的“工艺的回归”是一种普遍现象的升华——当代西方社会的怀旧、民间审美,部分是为了应对新冠肺炎疫情,也为了应对新自由主义和气候变化。它是对动荡的反应,提供了想象中的过去的舒适,一种有形的触觉,以及与“旧方式”、自然和野生的重新连接。在这篇论文中,我通过对其商业上最成功的封锁成果——泰勒·斯威夫特的民间传说(2020)的案例研究,探讨了回归手工艺作为一种社会基础的探索。
