ABSTRACT

As the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the whole world, every aspect of people’s daily life has been turned topsy-turvy. In an effort to stem the spread of the virus, most people in the U.S. are living under relatively restrictive conditions of quarantine. This autoethnographic poetic inquiry presents a series of poems written within quarantine as dialogic healing responses to the pandemic. I aim to connect my personal responses to the media mediated pandemic in both Chinese and English channels to broader sociocultural issues, and contribute to the understanding of Asian Americans’ lived experiences amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

自主民族志诗歌探究：写诗作为对 COVID-19 大流行的对话式治疗反应

摘要

随着 COVID-19 大流行席卷全球，人们日常生活的方方面面都变得混乱不堪。为了阻止病毒的传播，美国大多数人都生活在相对严格的隔离条件下。这种自我民族志诗歌探究呈现了一系列在隔离期间写成的诗歌，作为对大流行病的对话式治疗反应。我的目标是将我个人对中文和英文渠道中媒体介导的流行病的反应与更广泛的社会文化问题联系起来，并有助于理解亚裔美国人在 COVID-19 大流行中的生活经历。
