The sanitary crisis has created an unprecedented amount of dilemmas that transform the relationship between states and their citizens as well as intimate relations between individuals. Charles Swain, the 19th-century English poet, viewed the home with characteristic emotion: “Home's not merely four square walls, Though with pictures hung and gilded: Home is where affection calls, Filled with shrines the heart hath builded!" Yet, during the Covid-19 crisis these "four square walls" have proved to be challenging to what we think of as intimacy, family, and home. This conversation will examine these challenges and the ways in which they connect to larger social issues.
