Interacciones sociales, espacio-tiempo y subjetividad de los estudiantes universitarios durante el confinamiento

Expresiones estéticas de la experiencia subjetiva e intersubjetiva de estudiantes de dos universidades de Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract

This work proposes to comprehend and unveil the subjective and social bond processes that were evidenced in an intervention-research project that aimed to promote the subjective wellbeing and mental health of college students amidst the crisis generated by the Covid-19 pandemic and elaborate their subjective experiences, affections, conflicts, and discomforts through the use of creation and aesthetic expression techniques. The methodology used for this study was qualitative, historical-critical, and the implemented design was cycle-action research with an exploratory scope and subjective and intersubjective attention. Grounded theory was used for the execution of the analysis, and social interaction and its relationship with the space-time of the students was defined as a unit of analysis, finding that the circumstances brought by confinement caused transformations in aspects like social interaction, and consequently, the construction of space-time and its markers. An idealized and disorganized communication in and out of the household was produced, meaning a setback in the processes of building autonomy, alterations in the balance and organization of activity and affection, and an addiction to technology.
