“…Their reports are consistent with previous research on better and more innovative communication (Karampampas, 2020;Kraus et al, 2020) and feelings of social connection (Johnson et al, 2020). They also reported on the importance of humor as a way to connect with loved ones and as a mechanism for coping with an epidemic, which is consistent with previous research (Folkman, 2008;Erikson & Feldstein, 2007;Restubog et al, 2020).…”

“…Given that it is already evident that the psychological effects of the pandemic are pervasive and could affect mental health of people (Holmes et al, 2020), it is imperative to understand the magnitude of mental health issues that may arise during and after this public health crisis. However, while psychological research has largely focused on negative consequences of COVID-19 on health and quality of life of people, some scholars (Nelson, 2020;Szabo et al, 2020) have also noticed some positive effects of the coronavirus pandemic, such as innovative communication (Karampampas, 2020;Kraus et al, 2020) and feelings of improved social connectedness (Johnson et al, 2020). Positive emotions and good mood have important roles in coping processes to distressing situations (Folkman, 2008;Erikson & Feldstein, 2007;Restubog et al, 2020).…”

Background: On 12 March 2020, Slovenia formally declared the presence of a pandemic of COVID-19 disease, followed by measures to stop the spread of the virus. Scope: The aim of this study was to explore how people experienced the progress of events related to the COVID-19 epidemic. Method: We conducted a general adult population survey by an online questionnaire that included-among others-three open-ended questions. Thematic analysis was applied for each question separately to identify key patterns in the data. Results: The first topic (questions about the epidemic) resulted in four core themes: concerns about the disease, concerns about the future, concerns about measures, and concerns about well-being and daily life. The second topic (positive changes during the epidemic) resulted in three core themes: changes in oneself, changes in close relationships, and changes in the environment and society. Lastly, the third topic (requests for psychological support during the epidemic) resulted in three core themes: direct help and support, information and awareness raising, and media activity. Conclusion: Overall, the themes that emerged from our study provide information that can help in understanding how people perceive the influence on their mental health and well-being of the negative and (some) positive effects of the COVID-19 epidemic. This may be helpful in the general preparedness to a feared second wave of the pandemic.

“…During fieldwork exercises, I motivate the students to test collaborative methods, having as a motto that "ethnographic knowledge is charged in that it is produced out of real-life encounters between people" (McGranahan, 2014, p. 33) and "ethnographic research can be troubled and it requires care and commitment, humility and cooperation, vulnerability and trust, but it is one of the most poignant ways of knowing another and thus, knowing the self" (ibid., p. 33-34). Even now, in times of social distancing, social media allows students to experience engaged anthropology when approaching these digital areas as another kind of "ethnographic place" (Karampampas, 2020b;Postill & Pink, 2012;Sideri & Kapetanaki, 2022). However, supervision and mentoring are crucial if field exercises are to produce fruitful learning outcomes for the students.…”

The task of decolonising anthropology is not yet complete. Rather, it is an ongoing process, and recent times have reminded us that evidence of the colonial past can still be found in anthropology departments (and are potentially reproduced through our teaching). In this article, I argue for a holistic approach to the decolonising of teaching and learning. This is in contrast to more isolated attempts to decolonise anthropology, for example, in the inclusion of previously suppressed voices. I explore a repertoire that includes student-centred methods, links between fieldwork practices, teaching practices and ethics, and a practice of encouraging students to place their interlocutors aims and objectives at the centre of anthropological practice. Moreover, I argue for the importance of assignments, fieldwork exercises, and performative teaching techniques that assist students to experience, rather than merely discuss, anthropology. I also go on to encourage the teaching of an actively engaged and relevant anthropology, which is open to student engagement with contemporary issues and which is directly relatable and relevant to them. Finally, I provide examples of collaborative research methods as a medium for decolonising anthropology. I argue that these methods allow students to fathom more deeply the ways in which contemporary anthropological knowledge is produced.

“…This epidemiological look on the night as a time-space of high contagion is radically opposed to other works offering a much more social look on the night in times of COVID-19. In this sense, a growing number of scholars have argued that nightlife (both formal and informal) can enhance community building and resilience, innovation, sustainability, socioemotional well-being and mutual psychological support under current harsh times (Karampampas 2020 andBorges 2021). These authors speak about the tangible and intangible dimensions of the economic, social and cultural values of nightlife; they study the extreme importance of night-time leisure practices for many adolescents, teenagers, young adults and adults who suffered psychoemotionally from the lockdown and closure of nightlife venues Knee 2021 andNofre 2023).…”

This article attempts to present a comprehensive, synthetic and critical epistemological review of the interdisciplinary field of Nightlife Studies from the late 19th century to the present, unveiling a fascinating interplay between an “alternative cultural approach”, a “community approach” and a “geographical turn” that arose in the mid- to late 2000s. In turn, the article sheds light on the strong commitment that many nightologists showed to the future of nightlife during the pandemic, emphasizing how fundamental nightlife is for community-building, multicultural understanding and socio-emotional well-being at individual and collective levels. In its final part, and more than presenting a new research agenda, the article argues for the need to adopt a “militant/activist socio-environmental approach” that allows shedding light on the old and new challenges and opportunities that exist on the road to promoting a greener, more resilient, inclusive and egalitarian nightlife.
