Título :	Social distancing or distancing the social? A non-anthropocentric approach in anthropology
Palabras clave :	Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales);19;Non;Auto;COVID;humans
Editorial :	Universidade Federal de Goiás
Descripción :	"Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Actor-Network Theory (ANT), as well as contemporary ‘beyond the human’ anthropology, promote a non-anthropocentric approach to the social sciences, considering non-human entities as a part of the social world. From this non-anthropocentric approach, this article aims to challenge the use of ‘social distancing’ as an accurate term, the qualifer ‘social’ being associated to human beings only. If distancing is a key concept to prevent human-to-human COVID-19 transmission, it would be more accurate to talk about physical or bodily human distancing. By talking about social distancing, we are actually distancing the social, narrowing its complexity, as it is composed by entities that are not necessarily human or even visible to our eyes, such as the new coronavirus. This article is an invitation to look for alternative terms to the concept of ‘social distancing’ that enable us to better express the complexity of the social in a less anthropocentric way."
