Abstract
Analysis of the diary written by Susana Bragatto after the decree of the state of alarm in Spain, due to the coronavirus pandemic, published in Folha de S. Paulo between March and June 2020. I analyze the specificities of social isolation and end of lockdown dynamics specific to the European context, with attention to the new configurations of the uses of domestic spaces and, above all, to the forms of face-to-face interaction in public spaces in the city of Barcelona, where the author, born in Brazil, has lived. At the end, I make brief counterpoints to the Brazilian experience, more specifically in São Paulo, with attention to the impacts of the pandemic on urban life.
