ABSTRACT

Narrating my reflections on the quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and my experience of the crisis in Syria, this paper studies the ways fear can transform into resilience by examining the self-reflexive works Path Out (Causa Creations, 2016) and Another Kind of Girl (You Must know, 2016). Using digital media, the creators of these works of art construct autobiographical, educational, and interactive narratives about coping and belonging in the course of the crisis. I propose viewing both texts as examples of ‘resilient communication’ that reacts to social and cultural issues brought about by crisis and suggests creative solutions that convey optimistic views of the future. Outlining the conventions of resilient communication, in turn, promotes the production of media works that use educational, creative and autobiographical techniques to foster collective resilience.

摘要

本文讲述了我对 2020 年 COVID-19 大流行期间隔离的反思以及我在叙利亚危机中的经历，通过研究自我反思的作品Path Out (Causa Creations, 2016) 和another来研究恐惧如何转化为复原力一种女孩（你必须知道，2016）。利用数字媒体，这些艺术作品的创作者构建了关于在危机过程中应对和归属感的自传式、教育性和互动式叙述。我建议将这两个文本视为“弹性沟通”的例子，它对危机带来的社会和文化问题做出反应，并提出创造性的解决方案，传达对未来的乐观看法。反过来，概述弹性传播的惯例会促进媒体作品的制作，这些作品使用教育、创意和自传技术来培养集体弹性。
