dc.description.abstract | In the pandemic episteme, virus transmission through space can be the arbiter of life and death. During the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, strict implementation of health protocols reinforced mobility constraints. For the densely populated urban neighborhoods, this poses proxemic conflict potentially detrimental to combating the virus. Hence, using the synergy of Proxemic theory and Narrative paradigm, this study explored human interaction with space, interplaying with the narratives of the Filipino households living in dense urban communities within the context of COVID-19. With the most densely populated barangay and the highest number of active cases in Manila in 2021 as the study locale, a qualitative narrative case study described the multiple interrelations of space, internalization of pandemic information, and the manifested practices. Due to hostile constraints of the pandemic, in-depth online interviews among nine (9) heads of the households were conducted. Dominant narratives presented that (1) sharing of spaces and utilities between various families living in one household contributes to the blurring of personal and intimate spaces, thus limiting opportunity for social distancing between cohabitants; (2) there is apparent poverty of language in understanding foreign language pandemic-related neologism and presence of varying terrains of articulating pandemic information internalization; and lastly, (3) parents acting as principal informants make understanding health protocols easier, but implementation is challenging with limited space. Study findings may serve as a call to action for social institutions to champion citizen-centric urban planning and development, dwelling on the realities of Filipino urban communities during catastrophic times. | en_US |
