Social Media Expressions of Temporal Disorientation Before and After P andemic Onset” DESCRIPTION: Dr. Ezra Zuckerman Sivan's talk exploits the natural experimen t represented by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to illuminate how insti tutionalized social rhythms provide a foundation for the lives of contempor ary Americans. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
This paper exploits the natu ral experiment represented by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic to illumin ate how institutionalized social rhythms provide a foundation for the lives of contemporary Americans. We find that public expressions of temporal dis orientation on the social media platform Twitter rose sharply in response t o the experience of mass quarantine and that such disorientation was most c ommonly articulated in terms of a quest for social validation for a sense o f confusion as to the day of the week (“What day is it?”). We also find the experience of unhappiness and temporal disorientation at the onset of the pandemic overwhelmed the contrast between the weekend and weekday that is e vident both before and after the pandemic onset. Finally\, we identify a te lling contrast between the pandemic-onset and the key political moments of early 2021 (the Capitol Insurrection and the inauguration of President Bide n)\, which were experienced as moments of “historic” transition rather than rhythmic disorientation.
