The coronavirus pandemic has propelled the reevaluation, at the global level, of the spaces we inhabit together and the forms in which we relate to one another. Issue 11 of Esferas takes the very concepts of discontinuity and interruption as a potential for making sense, for the power with which they can make visible that which stops being present: in this case, our capacity and tendency to live in society, our desire for sociability. Certainly, this issue explores how we manage, as social individuals, periods of interruptions or dramatic changes like the one we face today. At the same time, Esferas 11 takes advantage of the space that interruption opens to perform a collective reevaluation of society, of the norms that rule over it, of the processes that modify it.
