Abstract:
This article examines reflexive practice among young creative workers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, during COVID-19. Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a series of relentless and overlapping crises across the Indonesian archipelago. In urban centres across Indonesia, the arts and creative sectors are among the key economic sectors severely afflicted by the pandemic. COVID-19 implies a lot more than the loss of income and livelihoods. Mobility restrictions, gig cancellations, venue closures, all entail the loss of connections, opportunities, and creative outlets. Yet despite such uncertain conditions, young creative workers remain reflexively creative in order to survive in everyday life. Building upon interviews and focus-group discussions with young creative workers in Yogyakarta, we found three modes of temporality-based reflexive practice: waiting, doing something and re-learning, which represent young creative workers\' active responses manifested in the practical and contradictory relationship to the diverse possibilities within hierarchical and heterogenous cultural fields in a pandemic era characterised by regular ruptures. The analysis of the data below contributes to the literature on reflexivity and habitus among young creative workers in a time of pandemic.
摘要:
本文考察了日惹年轻创意工作者的反身实践,印度尼西亚,在COVID-19期间。自2020年3月以来,COVID-19大流行在印度尼西亚群岛引发了一系列无情和重叠的危机。在印度尼西亚的城市中心,艺术和创意部门是受大流行严重影响的主要经济部门之一。COVID-19意味着的不仅仅是收入和生计的损失。流动性限制,取消演出,场馆关闭,所有这些都需要失去连接,机遇,和创意出口。然而,尽管条件不确定,年轻的创意工作者为了在日常生活中生存而保持反身的创造力。在与日惹年轻创意工作者的访谈和焦点小组讨论的基础上,我们发现了三种基于时间性的反身实践模式:等待,做某事并重新学习,这代表了年轻的创造性工作者的积极反应,表现为在一个以定期破裂为特征的大流行时代,在等级和异质文化领域中,与各种可能性的实际和矛盾的关系。对以下数据的分析有助于有关大流行时期年轻创意工作者的反身性和习性的文献。
