Abstract

The pandemic with Covid-19 established a social chaos on the planet, which required extreme changes in order to contain the large-scale contamination of the disease. Social isolation, adopted as one of the restrictive measures, generated other problems with high repercussions in the indices of domestic violence, feminicide, divorces, among others, highlighting the fragility of interpersonal relationships and the consequences for society. The present study aims to present how interpersonal relationships were affected during social isolation. As methodology, the research was based on a literature review based on theorists such as Bauman (2001; 2004), Forbes (2010; 2019), in the approach about liquidity in contemporary relationships; in studies on the subject available in scientific and research platforms, college observatories and analysis of statistics about problems instaured from relational conflicts during the pandemic period. As a result, it became evident that sudden changes in the rhythm of life, such as residential confinement, contributed to increase the rates of domestic violence, consumption of alcoholic beverages, psycho-emotional diseases and divorce among couples. Evidence that human beings need to detach themselves from the liquidity and fluidity that contemporary immediacy adds to interpersonal relationships and reinforces the need to undertake more solid and effective relationships so that they can face crisis situations without destabilizing family ties and, thus, have more serenity and collaboration in solving challenges, such as the pandemic with Covid-19.
