CARE AND EMOTIONS IN HOME CONFINEMENT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Abstract
This article problematizes through narratives of everyday care practices, the emotions that are organized around different configurations of child care in the Metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. In doing so, the article aims to contribute to a pluralistic view of childhood and parenthood in order to consider the vast repertoire of dispositions, of being and feeling that are intertwined in family arrangements and child care. How do the interviewees re arranged the domestic care during the pandemic? What emotions and ‘rules of sentiment’ that new situation evidence? How the changes in the frontiers of inside/outside impacted in families and in personal and labor subjectivities? A first level of analysis of empirical data is structured around the modes of inhabiting the home -who lived with whom, in which type of house, with which type of use of the neighborhood- in order to reflect upon the emotional tensions, needs and strategies that emerged from the narratives.
