Resumen
Descripción
La humanidad conoció otras pandemias más graves que la actual. Sin embargo, no estamos ante una simple reiteración del pasado. Aquellas se dieron bajo otros contextos, sin la movilidad e interconexión a escala global que existe hoy. Este mundo se detuvo súbitamente y transformó tanto nuestros hábitos como la vida cotidiana de un modo hasta ahora desconocido. Formas inéditas de privatización, con distanciamiento físico forzado, pero sin distanciamiento social, gracias a las redes, vinieron acompañadas de un robustecimiento de lo público estatal que gobiernos de diferente signo político e ideológico debieron aceptar por razones prácticas antes que por convicciones. La pandemia actuó como un gran acelerador de procesos existentes. El artículo repasa de qué modo ello afectará la relación entre lo público y privado, como así también, sus fronteras y sus vínculos.
Humanity has known other pandemics more serious than the current one; however, we are not facing a simple reiteration of the past. Those occurred under other contexts, without the mobility and interconnection on a global scale that exists today. This world came to a sudden stop and transformed our habits and daily life in ways previously unknown. Unprecedented forms of privatization, with forced physical distancing, but without social distancing, thanks to the networks, were accompanied by a strengthening of the state public. This was accepted -for practical reasons rather than for convictions- by governments of different political and ideological signs. The pandemic acted as a great accelerator of existing processes. The article reviews how this will affect the relationship between public and private, as well as their borders and their links.
