Space and Togetherness
I had a wonderful time at the Poetic Justice session of Society for the Study of Social Problems. I listened to many powerful poems and got to read mine. The online community for an hour was lively with hope for social justice. If we divide space into online and offline, the offline space can also create a sense of togetherness. When we gather, because of body movement and/or vocal effect, a feeling of oneness that is larger than each individual is very powerful, which is well documented by sociologists. I guess the space where people meet, online or offline, are meant to create something higher and more positive than each of us can achieve on our own. THAT is a great source of strength and pride.
聚合
社会问题研究学会的线上会议收尾场以诗论社会正义,好诗连连,令人振奋。我也以诗会友,一个小时的聚会充满了对未来的希望。如果把空间分为线上和线下,线下聚会同样可以带来共振。正如社会学家所述,由于肢体与他人同动互动我们会感受到大于每个个体的集体感召力。这大概是因为线上和线下空间都是用来创造个体无法达到的高度和正能量。聚合是我们力量和骄傲的驱动力
