While many public performances of culture were shut down during much of the pandemic, the homes of many artists became prominent places for making culture. In particular, the pandemic created a rift in the temporal and spatial organization of work and leisure, affecting time management. This article turns to the creative lives of 32 novelists in Sweden who were interviewed online over video in 2020 and 2021. Using the example of these authors, the article investigates the impact of the pandemic on actors in culture who, to a large degree, already work creatively in physical isolation. The pandemic became an external shock affecting the temporal organization among authors and their ability to juggle commitments in life. For some, the pandemic situation appeared to create a rare slowdown of their relationships to their creative lives as well as a synchronization of spheres of life, feelings of resonance, and time for writing. As their regular activities disappeared and commitments weakened, others felt a non-resonant slowdown in their creative capacities. Those whose lives were intensified by new or additional work to make ends meet lost time for creative work, with writing becoming a guilty pleasure in response to the pandemic as a trauma. The research results emphasize the temporal conditions for making culture at home during the pandemic and argue for the general importance of studying temporal organizations of careers and art-making.

绝妙的隔离:疫情期间小说家的时间管理和文化创造



尽管在疫情期间许多公共文化表演被关闭,但许多艺术家的家成为创造文化的重要场所。特别是,疫情在工作和休闲的时空组织上造成了裂痕,影响了时间管理。本文转向瑞典 32 名小说家的创作生活,他们在 2020 年和 2021 年通过视频在线采访。本文以这些作者为例,调查了这场流行病对文化参与者的影响,这些参与者在很大程度上已经在物理隔离的情况下创造性地工作。这场流行病成为一种外部冲击,影响了作者之间的时间组织以及他们兼顾生活承诺的能力。对于一些人来说,疫情似乎罕见地减缓了他们与创作生活的关系,也导致了生活领域、共鸣感和写作时间的同步化。随着日常活动的消失和承诺的减弱,其他人感到自己的创造力出现了非共振的放缓。那些因新的或额外的工作而生活紧张以维持生计的人失去了创造性工作的时间,写作成为一种负罪感的快乐,以应对这种流行病的创伤。研究结果强调了大流行期间在家中创造文化的时间条件,并论证了研究职业和艺术创作的时间组织的普遍重要性。
