SOSA, Ruth. Covid-19 as an Epistemic Obstacle: Towards a Care-Matrix (or Ecology of Care). Notes in Motion. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2020, n.40, suppl.1, pp.117-126. ISSN 1853-984X.

The irruption of Covid-19 in our lives is installed as a state of disruptive exceptionality, disrupting our daily current. The perplexity and discomfort of this new condition makes us experience this moment as deeply uncomfortable, in suspension, while what we envision in the immediate and immediate future is full of uncertainties and unpredictability. The edge of "the real" seems to be displaced. The "confusion" between "public" and "private" becomes a kind of "fissure". Hence, obstacles and ruptures of certain social orders are configured that alter our lives and expectations, challenging grammars, semantics, and also discursive institutions and conventions. Among these questions, the interpellation towards the very concept of democracy and citizenship is deepened. The matrix of care, embraced and empowered by feminisms in their alliances and bets in the sphere of the underground and from the streets, has been suggesting new meanings and an endearingly political theoretical-epistemological key.

Keywords : Epistemology; Uncertainty; Feminisms; Care-matrix.
