Abstract

This short essay reflects on the consequences of quarantine from the SARS-COVID-19 pandemic that affected the world in 2020 and 2022. I analyze the impact of this obligatory enclosure from an anthropological approach, especially considering the existential dimensions of corporality and how digital technological mediations led to the emergence of original proxemics and telematic intersubjectivity modes. The analysis makes a preliminary assessment of the impact of the pandemic and the quarantine, as well as the prospective implementation of these technologies on the contemporary human ontological constitution.
