The aim of this conceptual paper is to discuss the transformation of socialization processes due to the digitalization of entertainment and community formation during COVID-19. More specifically, we focus on alternative modes of touch and contact within the context of queer digital entertainment spaces and question how the world is shaped and sensed in a (post-) COVID-19 era. Inspired by the work of Karen Barad on a quantum theory of queer intimacies, we highlight that the rise of hybridized experiences in-between physical and digital spaces captures a series of spatiotemporal, material, and symbolic dimensions of touch and contact. We conclude by drawing implications for the future of organizations and work.
这篇概念性论文的目的是探讨在新冠疫情期间，由于娱乐数字化和社区形成而导致的社会化过程的转变。更具体地说，我们关注酷儿数字娱乐空间背景下的替代触摸和接触方式，并质疑在新冠疫情后时代，世界是如何被塑造和感知的。受凯伦·巴拉德关于酷儿亲密关系量子理论的启发，我们强调物理和数字空间之间混合体验的兴起捕捉了触摸和接触的一系列时空、物质和象征维度。我们通过对组织和工作的未来提出启示来得出结论。
