CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS DURING PANDEMIC IN ROMANIA. A VISUAL APPROACH TO ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH ADAPTATION TO SOCIAL ISOLATION

Summary/Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic had a major impact on social life, affecting a fundamental characteristic of humanity: the manifestation of sociability. For children and teenagers, the pandemic meant a drastic reduction in formal and informal social interactions, both necessary for their mental development. The total lockdown in Romania lasted two months, during which time we collected visual data in the form of photographic journals. In this paper, we present a visual essay based on photographs in which parents showed us what isolation was like for their children. The visual essay is an alternative form of presenting the results of research in socio-humanities, which form is more accessible to the non-specialized public. Our essay illustrates the adaptive capacity of families with children and teenagers to the situation of social isolation imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
