Abstract

This article uses kindness as a lens through which to analyse examples of giving to and through the arts in Aotearoa during the first year of COVID-19. We consider whether the exceptional conditions created by COVID-19 caused reconsideration of the way the arts look after society and why and how societies need to look after the arts. We do so by critically examining state and private giving to the arts in Aotearoa New Zealand, from March 2020-March 2021, alongside large- and small-scale artistic gestures of giving. It appears that a 'kinder' economy for the arts emerged during this time. While this did not disrupt the established asymmetries in the arts or society, there was a glimpse of how the neoliberal ethos for giving to the arts might be decentred by an ethos of 'social flesh' (Beasley & Bacchi, 2012).

给予中的善良?2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)时期的艺术奉献和艺术传承

本文以善良为视角，分析了在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的第一年，奥特罗阿通过艺术给予和捐赠的例子。我们将考虑2019冠状病毒病造成的特殊情况是否导致人们重新思考艺术照顾社会的方式，以及社会为什么以及如何照顾艺术。为此，我们批判性地审视了2020年3月至2021年3月期间新西兰奥特罗阿的国家和私人艺术捐赠，以及大型和小规模的艺术捐赠。在这段时间里，似乎出现了一种“更仁慈”的艺术经济。虽然这并没有破坏艺术或社会中既定的不对称，但我们可以看到，为艺术捐款的新自由主义精神可能会被“社会肉体”的精神所分散(Beasley & Bacchi, 2012)。

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.
