Una investigación de psicología social en contextos de pandemia

Abstract

Social reinsertion is a term that emerges in the context of the 21st century juvenile penal system. It refers to a process of functional reincorporation to social life, with adolescents in conflict with the law, and favors a focus on the individual and their psychosocial abilities to integrate into society. How do these subjects signify the “confinement” and the transition to their reinsertion? During the fieldwork in this research, the sociohistorical context abruptly changed, the global Covid-19 pandemic emerged as an event, so the institutional activities changed to “virtual” in “voluntary isolation”. With this the research faced a “new normal”, it was time to “stay home”. This work explores the life experiences of young people in the process of social reinsertion in an NGO, to understand the processes of subjectivation that they transverse, through a flexible and open route of intervention while historically another type of confinement was experienced.
