I was waiting for my wife outside some grocery today and witnessed this woman in her 60s trying to enter while covering her mouth with her hand. The guard told her she couldn’t get in without a mask. She got mad cause apparently she wanted to get in just to buy a mask. A wonderful causal-nexus discussion took place for about 5 mins until she Karen’d-out and asked for the manager. In less than a minute a tall guy showed up and told her something like “lady, imagine 50 people getting in trying to buy a face-mask... It would be the same as not wearing masks at all... walk two blocks down the street and buy a damn mask in the pharmacy”. She continued to brag about being a long-time customer, being in a hurry, not have being told that whole “no-masky, no-shoppy” thing, and... after a good 15 mins, walked away. She’d probably have also walked away, WITH her groceries, if she’d taken the guard’s advice from the beginning. Stupidity. I should’ve filmed it.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has brought to the front a particular object: the face mask. I have explored the way people make-meaning of an object generally associated with the medical context that, under exceptional circumstances, can become a presence in everyday life. Understanding how people make meaning of their use is important. Using cultural psychology, I analyse preferences toward different types of face masks people would wear in public. The study involved 2 groups, 44 Norwegian university students and 60 international academics. In particular, I have focused on the role of the mask in regulating people affective experience. The mask evokes safety and fear, it mediates in the auto-dialogue between “I” and “Me” through the “Other”, and in the hetero-dialogue between “I” and the “Other” through “Me” The dialogue is characterized by a certain ambivalence, as expected. Meaning-making is indeed the way to deal with the ambivalence of human existence.
