On the one hand, physical distance has been at the center of the spatiotemporal regulations deployed by various agents to slow down infections and minimize the deleterious effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. On the other hand, while daily life in cities was rapidly transformed, these regulations -as a sign of the symmetry between daily life and anthropological research- made it difficult to make an anthropological approach based on proximity, prolonged stay, and even co-residence during fieldwork of the social experience of the pandemic to understand its differential impacts on urban life. Based on the results obtained in a set of collective explorations during the pandemic, the article reflects on distance as a product of social practices and a field of struggles both in urban life and in anthropology. Este artículo reflexiona sobre la distancia en la investigación antropológica en contextos urbanos durante la pandemia de COVID 19 en la Argentina. La distancia física ha estado en el centro las regulaciones espaciotemporales desplegadas por diversos agentes para desacelerar los contagios y minimizar los efectos deletéreos de pandemia de COVID 19. Al mismo tiempo que transformaban de manera vertiginosa la vida cotidiana en las ciudades, estas regulaciones -como muestra de la simetría entre vida cotidiana y antropología- dificultaban el acercamiento antropológico (basado en la proximidad, la permanencia prolongada e incluso la co-residencia en el campo) para comprender sus impactos diferenciales en la vida urbana. A partir de los resultados obtenidos en un conjunto de exploraciones colectivas durante la pandemia, el articulo reflexiona sobre la distancia como un producto de las prácticas sociales y un campo de luchas tanto en la vida urbana como en la antropología. Este artigo reflete sobre a distância na pesquisa antropológica em contextos urbanos durante a pandemia de COVID 19 na Argentina. A distância física tem estado no centro das regulações espaço-temporais implantadas por diversos agentes para retardar o contágio e minimizar os efeitos deletérios da pandemia de COVID 19. Ao mesmo tempo em que transformavam rapidamente o cotidiano das cidades, essas regulações - como mostram a simetria entre o quotidiano e a antropologia - dificultou a abordagem da antropologia (baseada na proximidade, permanência prolongada e mesmo co-residência no campo) para compreender os seus impactos diferenciais na vida urbana. A partir dos resultados obtidos em um conjunto de explorações coletivas durante a pandemia, o artigo reflete sobre a distância como produto de práticas sociais e campo de lutas tanto na vida urbana quanto na antropologia.
