Abstract

BORISONIK, Hernán Gabriel. Pandemic glosses: private life, secret life, university. discus.filos [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.38, pp.93-107.  Epub Feb 01, 2022. ISSN 0124-6127.  https://doi.org/10.17151/difil.2021.22.38.7.

This article addresses the classic distinction between public life and private life based on the hypothesis that such bipolarity needs to be reread in the light of the so-called secret life, which constitutes a transindividual space that structures and organizes modern dichotomies (public-private, cultural-natural) from a space that crosses its limits. In addition, it seeks to delve into some possibilities of considering this third transversal space when trying to understand the current pandemic and some of its effects on the university reality. The text begins with a series of notes on current times, then presents the category “secret life”, appealing to some ideas of Epicurus and Aristotle, to end by analyzing some edges of the so-called algorithmic governmentality and its marks in the contemporary university. In its conclusion, it calls for a transdisciplinary dialogue as a project to reactivate the university as a space for reflection and dialogue on the pressing problems of our present.

Keywords : Private life; secret life; university; pandemic; algorithmic governmentality.
