Abstract

From the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, ordinary people around the world have been documenting their experiences in diverse media forms, giving rise to a public culture of pandemic storytelling. This public culture, however, can be transitory. Personal stories may disappear for many reasons. We call for scholars to help build and sustain this public culture through the work of digital archiving and research, and we emphasize a descriptive imperative, as opposed to theorizing, as the more urgent course of action.

建立讲疫情故事的公共文化

从2019冠状病毒病大流行开始，世界各地的普通民众就一直在以各种媒体形式记录自己的经历，形成了一种讲述大流行故事的公共文化。然而，这种公共文化可能是短暂的。个人故事的消失可能有很多原因。我们呼吁学者们通过数字存档和研究工作来帮助建立和维持这种公共文化，我们强调描述性的必要性，而不是理论化，作为更紧迫的行动方针。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
