Written between April and May 2020, Enric Puig Punyet reflects on the paradox of a society that, in order to protect itself, turned corporeality into an obstacle and accelerated the digitalization of life. The author asks what a body offers us today, exploring the conflict between our physical condition and the technological fantasy of absolute immunity. A work that invites us to rethink the value of face-to-face interaction in a world mediated by screens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts from a historical observation: during the health crisis, the human body was universally perceived as a potential pathogen. From this premise, the author examines how we learned to relate exclusively through digital devices, avoiding physical contact and relegating bodies to a hindrance to social life. Puig Punyet maintains that without the internet, lockdown would have been impossible, and he asks what value corporeality retains in a context of the progressive dematerialization of relationships. Throughout its pages, he unfolds an anthropological and philosophical reflection on the destiny of our condition as bodily beings, faced with the technological promise of a life without risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe transformation of the perception of the body during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe impact of forced digitalization on human and social relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe tension between physical corporeality and the pursuit of absolute technological immunity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnthropological and philosophical reflection on the value of presence and contact in the digital age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe analysis of how health crises redefine the boundaries between the public and the private.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis essay is aimed at readers interested in contemporary philosophy, digital sociology, and critical thinking about technology.

Puig Punyet manages to articulate a fundamental question—what a body offers us—in a context where technology promised to solve everything, including the need for contact. His approach, halfway between philosophy and social criticism, is pertinent not only for understanding the recent past, but for anticipating debates about the future of face-to-face interaction. A work that invites reflection without falling into alarmism, aimed at an audience seeking to understand the profound transformations of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CLAVE INTELECTUAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407242289499,"sku":"9788412099287","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841209928.jpg?v=1781850834","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788412099287","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
