- Abstract : This article describes poststructural ways of responding to the pandemic by looking for openings or gaps within more traditional ways of interacting with dilemmas. The author situates herself within a "positive deviance" epistemology, which looks for what already works rather than getting captured by the current problem. We "flip" what are the usual ways of responding and explore three different programs that illustrate inventive and assets‐based approaches. Linking‐Lives Storython, created specifically to utilize our COVID shelter‐in‐place experience; Re‐Authoring Teaching: Creating a Collaboratory, begun 12 years ago to meet the needs of a widespread community; and Witness to Witness, a current response to contemporary disastrous situations—all have utilized technology to open possibilities for those who are helped as well as those who are helpers. The article shows how each program has specifically flipped more traditional ways of responding, but also how this "flip" employs a practice of "disciplined improvisation." Each program has a built‐in structure that depends on technology to make it work; each has a disciplined approach that allows the helpers to improvise to meet the needs of the receivers. It is this "flip, " this way of thinking, that can sustain us and our work in times of great complexity and multiplicity.

Resumen: En este artículo se describen las formas posestructurales de responder a la pandemia buscando aberturas o grietas en las formas más tradicionales de interactuar con los dilemas. La autora se sitúa dentro de una epistemología de "desviación positiva", que busca lo que ya funciona en lugar de quedar atrapada por el problema actual. Nosotros "damos un giro" a las formas típicas de responder y analizamos tres programas diferentes que ilustran métodos inventivos y basados en ventajas. Linking‐ Lives Storython, creado específicamente para aprovechar nuestra experiencia de confinamiento por la COVID‐19; Re‐Authoring Teaching: Creating a Collaboratory, que se inició hace doce años para satisfacer las necesidades de una comunidad amplia; y Witness‐to‐Witness, una respuesta actual a situaciones contemporáneas de catástrofe, han utilizado la tecnología para abrir posibilidades tanto a quienes reciben ayuda como a aquellos que ayudan. El artículo demuestra cómo cada programa ha dado un giro específicamente a las formas más tradicionales de responder, y también cómo este "giro" emplea una práctica de "improvisación disciplinada". Cada programa tiene una estructura incorporada que depende de la tecnología para que funcione; cada uno tiene un método disciplinado que permite a los ayudantes improvisar para satisfacer las necesidades de los receptores. Es este "giro, " esta forma de pensar, que puede apoyarnos y apoyar nuestro trabajo en tiempos de gran complejidad y multiplicidad. 摘要: 本文描述了应对疫情的后结构方式,即在更传统的与困境互动的方式中寻找突破口或缺口。作者将自己置于一个"积极偏差"的认识论中,寻找已经有效的东西,而不是被当前的问题所捕获。我们"翻转"了通常的反应方式,并探索了三种不同的项目,它们阐明了创造性和基于资产的方法。联系生活故事马拉松,专门创建利用我们的Covid避难所的经验; 重新创作教学: 创建一个合作实验室,开始于12年前,以满足广泛社区的需求; 以及目击者对目击者,对当代灾难的当前反应——所有人都利用技术为那些被帮助的人和那些帮助他者的人打开了可能性。本文展示了每个项目是如何特别地颠覆了更传统的回应方式,以及这种"颠覆"是如何运用一种"训练有素的即兴创作"的实践。"每个项目都有一个内置的结构,依赖技术使其奏效; 每一个都有一个训练的方法,允许助手即兴发挥,以满足接受者的需要。正是这种"翻转",这种思维方式,才能在如此复杂多样的时代支撑我们和我们的工作。 … (more)
