Abstract
During the first Danish lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020, the usual order of everyday time became destabilized. Everyday rhythms and the quotidian “here-and-now” were transformed, and the near past surfaced as a utopian future many wished to return to, while people tried to re-order everyday time in narratives and sequences by means of new routines and materialities, and within ambiguous and affective moods. Using empirical material of over sixty-five student diaries and essays written during the Danish pandemic situation, the objective is to analytically open the complexity of temporal practices as they are performed in everyday life.
