Na primavera passada, a antropa³loga ocidental Karen Pennesi estava prestes a embarcar em uma viagem de pesquisa ao Brasil no momento em que o COVID-19 comea§ava a fechar as fronteiras.
Presa em casa trabalhando online, ela se viu procurando distrações noturnas no YouTube e no TikTok e descobriu uma riqueza de canções e poemas pandaªmicos - muitas vezes comenta¡rios engraçados sobre nossas vidas recanãm-confinadas.
Sua primeira descoberta foi a para³dia de Chris Mann da canção de Adele Hello (From the Inside). Com o rosto pressionado contra uma janela, Mann murmurou: "Ola¡, sou eu. Estou na Califa³rnia, sonhando em sair para comer".
Isso a fez rir. Seu filho de 10 anos também. Ele por acaso estava olhando por cima do ombro dela.
“Ele começou a pedir maisâ€, disse Pennesi, cuja especialidade éantropologia linguastica. Juntos, eles começam a explorar um gaªnero de performances online que Pennesi chama de arte verbal COVID.
Nãodemorou muito para ela perceber que milhões de pessoas ao redor do mundo estavam fazendo a mesma coisa. Eles estavam assistindo, postando e compartilhando não apenas canções, mas outros tipos de arte verbal, como poesia falada e esquetes ca´micos. Alguns foram produzidos por profissionais que ficaram presos em casa como seu paºblico.
Pennesi começou a coletar exemplos para um curso que ela ministra sobre arte verbal e jogo da fala.
“Eu pensei que se fosse sentar e assistir esses vadeos, eu poderia muito bem fazer algo com elesâ€, disse Pennesi.
E então a Western fez uma convocação para que os professores propusessem projetos de pesquisa para alunos de graduação cujos empregos de vera£o haviam caado devido ao agravamento da pandemia.
Ela recrutou a estudante de antropologia do segundo ano Sydney Dawson para ajuda¡-la a filtrar performances online. A dupla decidiu se concentrar em pea§as referentes ao distanciamento social e fasico, quarentena e isolamento, prática s de higiene e limpeza - experiências cotidianas durante a pandemia - bem como craticas sociais e políticas que mencionavam explicitamente COVID-19. Eles também procuraram deliberadamente vozes sub-representadas para contrabalana§ar os vadeos em alta que o YouTube ou o TikTok sugeriram.
"Muitas vezes divertidas, essas pea§as ajudaram a normalizar a ideia de que tais ações eram necessa¡rias e benanãficas para todos, ao mesmo tempo que reconhecia a inconveniaªncia e os sentimentos negativos em torno dos requisitos e proibições"
Pennesi
O resultado éum exame de 227 performances de arte verbal que oferece um registro etnogra¡fico de como a vida cotidiana mudou ao longo do tempo durante a pandemia e como o foco mudou da confusão inicial para a cratica polatica. O artigo de Pennesi, "What Does a Pandemic Sound Like?", Foi publicado na revista Anthropologica nesta primavera.
Ela e Dawson descobriram que em mara§o de 2020, enquanto os sistemas de saúde na Europa estavam sobrecarregados e os casos aumentavam na Amanãrica do Norte, a arte verbal COVID transmitiu as mensagens essenciais de funciona¡rios de saúde pública e governos: fique em casa, lave as ma£os, não toque em seu rosto, mantenha distância.
"Muitas vezes divertidas, essas pea§as ajudaram a normalizar a ideia de que tais ações eram necessa¡rias e benanãficas para todos, ao mesmo tempo que reconhecia a inconveniaªncia e os sentimentos negativos em torno dos requisitos e proibições", disse Pennesi.
A arte verbal em mara§o de 2020 lidou com sentimentos de solida£o, tanãdio, excesso de indulgaªncia da Netflix, acaºmulo de papel higiaªnico e sono, bebida e alimentação excessivos.
Em abril de 2020, conforme os casos se espalharam, as mortes aumentaram, as escolas permaneceram fechadas e as pessoas perderam o emprego ou tiveram dificuldade para trabalhar em casa com as criana§as sob os panãs, a arte verbal tomou uma direção mais sanãria. Mais postagens eram sobre homenagens a trabalhadores essenciais, fazer um balana§o do que éimportante na vida, permanecer virtualmente conectado ou frustração por estar confinado a famalia.
Enquanto alguns podem estar inclinados a descartar a arte verbal online como entretenimento de pouco peso, Pennesi argumenta que tem sido uma boa representação do que as pessoas ao redor do mundo estãopensando e sentindo em determinados momentos. Nãoéapenas um reflexo, disse ela: também ajuda a moldar as percepções das pessoas e agua§a a compreensão do tributo emocional da pandemia.
"Isso nos permite reconhecer as frustrações e a depressão uns dos outros, mas sem o trabalho a¡rduo de termos que nos expressar. Expressar éum trabalho emocional. Em vez disso, podemos apenas apontar para algo e dizer:" a‰ assim que me sinto. " algo que podemos não ser capazes de articular. "
