Abstract

In this essay text, we reflectively propose what a new social technology called a confinement regime is like, and that has been used during the current pandemic. Through an autoethnographic and self-referential story, presented in the form of snapshots in the life of a woman locked up in a city in Argentina today. Thus, we recall life in the domestic, ideas of gender, work, age in the everyday. The relationship with the media, on social networks and with new forms of biopolitic is revealed. This work accounts for a moment when everything is suspended and, consequently, gives time to see what the world we live in, what our inner life is like and its economic-political relationship with the outside. A privileged moment to think and ask ourselves.
