description My intention is to discuss how the exceptional conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic enabled both a better understanding of reality through the analytical resources of anthropology and the problematization of approaches and methods of our discipline that we take for granted. Based on fieldwork from a distance on different aspects of the pandemic, I analyze three topics that are closely related: 1. the use of different concepts of crisis and its consequences to understand the pandemic; 2. as a consequence of the pandemic crisis and the difficulties in carrying out ethnographic research in its classical form, the opportunity not only to imagine new modes of empirical inquiry, but also to problematize accepted ways of thinking and research; 3. the validity of the anthropological problem about thought, rationality, universalism and relativism, underlying the controversies about the existence and nature of the virus, the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other health policy measures.

Based on fieldwork from a distance on different aspects of the pandemic, I analyze three topics that are closely related: 1. the use of different concepts of crisis and its consequences to understand the pandemic; 2. as a consequence of the pandemic crisis and the difficulties in carrying out ethnographic research in its classical form, the opportunity not only to imagine new modes of empirical inquiry, but also to problematize accepted ways of thinking and research; 3. the validity of the anthropological problem about thought, rationality, universalism and relativism, underlying the controversies about the existence and nature of the virus, the safety and efficacy of vaccines and other health policy measures. Mi intención es discutir cómo las condiciones excepcionales de la pandemia de COVID-19 posibilitaron tanto una mejor comprensión de la realidad mediante los recursos analíticos de la antropología como la problematización de enfoques y métodos de nuestra disciplina que damos por sentado. Basándome en un trabajo de campo desde la distancia sobre distintos aspectos de la pandemia, analizo tres temas que están en estrecha relación: 1. el uso de diferentes conceptos de crisis y sus consecuencias para comprender la pandemia; 2. como consecuencia de la crisis pandémica y las dificultades para llevar a cabo investigación etnográfica en su forma clásica, la  oportunidad no solo para imaginar nuevos modos de indagación empírica, sino también para problematizar las maneras aceptadas de pensar e investigar; 3. la vigencia del problema antropológico sobre pensamiento, racionalidad, universalismo y relativismo, subyacente a las controversias sobre la existencia y naturaleza del virus, la seguridad y eficacia de las vacunas y otras medidas de política sanitarias. Minha intenção é discutir como as condições excepcionais da pandemia do COVID-19 possibilitaram tanto uma melhor compreensão da realidade por meio dos recursos analíticos da antropologia quanto a problematização de abordagens e métodos de nossa disciplina que tomamos como certos. Com base em trabalho de campo à distância sobre diferentes aspectos da pandemia, analiso três tópicos que estão intimamente relacionados: 1. o uso de diferentes conceitos de crise e suas consequências para entender a pandemia; 2. como consequência da crise pandémica e das dificuldades em realizar a investigação etnográfica na sua forma clássica, a oportunidade não só de imaginar novos modos de investigação empírica, mas também de problematizar formas de pensar e de pesquisar aceites; 3. a validade do problema antropológico sobre pensamento, racionalidade, universalismo e relativismo, subjacente às controvérsias sobre a existência e a natureza do vírus, a segurança e eficácia das vacinas e outras medidas de política de saúde, application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/12764 10.34096/cas.i57.12764 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/12764/11346 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/12764/11627 Derechos de autor 2023 Sergio Eduardo Visacovsky https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 57 (2023); 7-23 1850-275X 0327-3776 Anthropology Ethnography Crisis COVID-19 pandemic Rationality Antropología Etnografía Crisis COVID-19 Pandemia Racionalidad Antropología Etnografía Crise Pandemia do covid-19 Racionalidade The gaze of Lot’s wife or what anthropology has helped to understand the COVID-19 pandemic (and what it can help to problematize anthropology) La mirada de la esposa de Lot o lo que la antropología ha ayudado a entender la pandemia de COVID-19 (y lo que esta puede ayudar a interrogar a la antropología).
