Abstract
With its lockdown and restrictions on movement, the Covid-19 pandemic has created a rapid change in the relationship we have with the material environment The resulting social isolation and our increased reliance on the virtual of the internet have meant that our potential for material engagement has become limited This article explores one response to these limitations that illustrates the potential for new forms of knowledge to emerge from re-functioning the objects around us and ultimately re-engineering the self to adapt creatively to the crisis of pandemic Drawing on ideas of socio-material learning and the distributed self, the essay explores the 'pedagogy of pandemic': a learning space in which creativity is central to the negotiation of problems associated with limited material surroundings, forming a type of situated knowledge specific to the conditions, materials and practices of isolation
期刊介绍:
Knowledge Cultures is a multidisciplinary journal that draws on the humanities and social sciences at the intersections of economics, philosophy, library science, international law, politics, cultural studies, literary studies, new technology studies, history, and education. The journal serves as a hothouse for research with a specific focus on how knowledge futures will help to define the shape of higher education in the twenty-first century. In particular, the journal is interested in general theoretical problems concerning information and knowledge production and exchange, including the globalization of higher education, the knowledge economy, the interface between publishing and academia, and the development of the intellectual commons with an accent on digital sustainability, commons-based production and exchange of information and culture, the development of learning and knowledge networks and emerging concepts of freedom, access and justice in the organization of knowledge production.
