The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already precarious conditions of freelance workers. The aim of this study is to understand what it means for freelance musicians to be in pandemic limbo. Thirteen Swedish professional freelance musicians in the classical genre were interviewed about their experiences in the midst of the pandemic. A theoretical frame of reference is offered with concepts from Bourdieu, sociology of emotions and emotional geographies. This enables an understanding of what it means as a freelancer to be dislocated and disrupted in relation to places and spaces of work and investments in time and emotions. The conclusions are about the ambivalent emotions and processes of emotional management that are caused by the pandemic. For freelance musicians, depending on their access to the live-settings of gigs, auditions and social venues, it is like being thrown back in time and place (back to where careers were slowly built). However, while at a distance from the normal run of careers, constructive processes of critical reflection and re-orientation have been initiated.
新冠疫情加剧了自由职业者本就不稳定的状况。本研究的目的是了解处于疫情困境中的自由职业音乐家意味着什么。我们采访了13位瑞典古典音乐领域的专业自由职业音乐家，了解他们在疫情期间的经历。我们提供了一个理论参考框架，其中包含布迪厄的概念、情感社会学和情感地理学。这有助于理解作为自由职业者在工作的场所和空间以及时间和情感投入方面被打乱和扰乱意味着什么。研究结论是关于疫情引发的矛盾情绪和情感管理过程。对于自由职业音乐家来说，根据他们能否进入演出、试镜和社交场所的现场环境，这就像是被抛回到过去的时间和地点（回到职业生涯慢慢起步的地方）。然而，在与正常职业轨迹保持距离的同时，批判性反思和重新定位的建设性过程已经启动。
