“…Researchers dealing with the temporal aspect of the pandemic also draw attention to how it brought about new types of behavior, such as waiting for restrictions to be lifted and queuing. These phenomena were perfectly captured in the autoethnographic article by Victoria J. E. Jones (2022). Jones also draws attention to the specific dullness of emotions that accompanied everyday life during the pandemic, including a kind of indifference and silencing of the affects that were present.…”

This paper shows how the metropolitan creative classes inPoland reacted to the changes in the organization of everyday life caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially its temporality and rhythmicity. The pandemic and lockdowns reorganized previous ways of experiencing and managing time. Based on our empirical research and research by other scholars, we have identified some of the most common disruptions of pandemic temporality. However, a vital element of the article is to specify how the social category we studied dealt with these disruptions. In doing so, we show that the response to the breakdown of the previous order of everyday life was to restore a sense of stability actively. We were also interested in the possible, also negative consequences of the findings for the social category under study. The empirical basis for the article are in-depth interviews conducted during the fourth phase of the ongoing research project

“…We learn that pausing can be experienced in myriad ways with diverse consequences, such that there is no direct link between pausing and environmental connection and re‐enchantment. Existing work in this register suggests that the COVID‐19 Anthropause was first experienced as a disruptive, disorienting event, that later engendered a specific spatiotemporality in which new sensibilities and affects were invoked, including waiting, suspension, anxiety and boredom (Anderson, 2021; Jones, 2022).…”

“…Indeed, a curfew is a legal, spatial, and temporal order that shuts down the bustling of movement and economic activities and turns them into ghostly spaces of absence and emptiness. This emptiness is precisely what struck many as they faced the myriad shifts that came to mark what it means to live through 2020 in some parts of the world (see Fall, 2020;Jones, 2022 and sessions organized by Laketa, Fregonese and Gokariksel in AAG 2021; Lancione and Simone, 2020a). Yet, emptiness is not always really empty.…”

Kites, billboards and bridges: Reading the city’s curfew through the glitch

This article is an attempt at reading the city through what gets extended and/or suspended in it in a time of an interruption, or a glitch. It does this while thinking about Cairo's curfew during the summer of 2020. I focus on this short pause that disrupted what is perceived to be regular urban life in a place like Cairo. Centering a collaboration with the Egyptian visual artist Azza Ezzat, we read some snapshots of this seemingly minor interruption through three ordinary objects that inhabit the city’s skyline: kites, billboards, and bridges. Through these three objects that suspend at the interstices of a skyline, I trace suspensions and extensions of infrastructure, broadly defined. My contention is that the glitch of the curfew helps to make apparent ongoing processes and infrastructures that keep a post-revolutionary Cairo going (for better or for worse). I propose that the material and affective affordance of the glitch provide a lens that disinvests from the logics of exception and states of emergency that have dominated research on the country and even on the city.
