Body Mobility And Media In COVID-19

At the end of 2019,the widespread outbreak of COVID-19 caused huge changes in People’s Daily lives.Since the outbreak of the epidemic,China’s measures for epidemic prevention and control measures have achieved great results.Based on the rapid spread and scope of the epidemic,in order to effectively safeguard the national public health security and the lives and health safety of residents,the government has taken measures such as home quarantine to effectively curb the spread of COVID-19.Today,with the popularization of communication technology,media has become an indispensable part of the daily life of home isolation.The author embedded the media logic into the rhythm analysis theory,exploring the interruption of the original rhythm of life in the epidemic isolation environment,and how the body,as the carrier of rhythm,constructs a new rhythm with the help of media.During the epidemic quarantine period,the "immobile" body exercise in the isolated home was activated through live streaming fitness,and formed a wave of "national fitness" in the Internet space.This paper takes Lefebvre’s rhythm analysis theory as a theoretical basis,Starting from the body,Given the daily pace of people at home during the COVID-19 quarantine,It is discussed from three aspects: Firstly,During the quarantine period,the "alienation" phenomenon such as "arrhythmia" caused by the interruption,the reduction of self-control under the media discipline,the blur of media and leisure time,the boundary between labor time and the elimination of human subjectivity;Secondly,as a rhythm bearer,the new shift in exercise and fitness shown under the empowerment of digital media and mobile media technology,And how Liu helps people establish the life order through the rhythm of live fitness during COVID-19;Finally,this paper expounds how people give full play to the initiative of the subject,carry out spontaneous "physical revolution" by participating in the form of live fitness,shows a new integration situation between technology and body,and seeks to build a new harmonious life rhythm.The author will take Liu’s live streaming fitness as an example,adopt case analysis method and interview method,focus on the body rhythm in daily life at home,and explore how media technology has transformed people’s bodies in closed environment,How to complete the embodied practice in the common rhythm with the physical body,and what kind of technology-body fusion new situation is shown.It is hoped that it can open up new perspectives for the theoretical research of rhythm analysis and the study of the mediated body in cultural production,and provide reference opinions for balancing the rhythm of life in modern society and returning to the subjectivity of human body.
