Reinvención de la vida cotidiana en mujeres cucuteñas en tiempos de Covid-19

Abstract

An approach to daily life is made, in relation to practices, relationships and subjectivities, considering the theoretical perspectives of Agnes Heller and Norbert Elías. The objective proposed is to explore the transformations in the day-to-day life of the woman living in Cúcuta during the period of isolation by the COVID-19. Grounded theory was applied as the analytical method of a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach in which 15 women participated. The results, based on in-depth interviews, indicate four general categories and a central one, which account for the construction of a new daily life, where awareness-for-itself emerges as an ethical and political act to face the economic situation, shifting between the need and the fear of contagion in parallel spaces and times between work, care, study and recreation; besides, heterogeneous forms of relationship and actions occur in the virtual world with the family and other contexts; there is also the arousal of new subjectivities that reveal, in a hierarchical way, the relevance of self-worth,  the family, life, the presence of others, faith and the environment.
