Exposed bodies, open houses: Embodiment and domestic life during the pandemic scenario in urban middle classes in Buenos Aires (Argentina)

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the transformative living conditions for middle classes in the City of Buenos Aires and Greater Buenos Aires in relation to the house and the body during these first two months of mandatory isolation. By gathering notes and records of our researches, we seek to problematize the visions that simplify the situation of confinement. The queries that organize the text are: What structural inequalities are revealed by this pandemic? Which modulations do middleclass people experience in the face of this?
