DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

A DAILY LIFE OF VULNERABILITIES INTENSIFIED BY THE PANDEMIC

Abstract

The article discusses how the pandemic of COVID-19 has brought about an increase in the number of situations of vulnerability for subjects in the individual and social spheres, with wide-ranging effects that have reached the economic, physical, and subjective spheres, in addition to an aggravation of situations of gender violence. However, if the pandemic aggravated this panorama, it did not create it, because this relation of domination was already expressed in a previous way. Thus, the text goes through what we call quotidian, its implications in the field of social representations and how the confinement, the unfavorable economic situation, and other issues in the field of social vulnerability, emerge as prerogatives that justify and/or legitimize, to some extent in the social discourse, the premises of hegemonic masculinity.
