Abstract

Before the COVID-19 vaccine, cities experienced a state of uncertainty and fear. This event, and having the health measure of confinement, would cause Daily Life to be interrupted by an emergency, which, although it was on a global scale and projected to the public, it was contradictorily resorted to the individual and was answered by the private seeking to balance that which was interpreted as socially and emotionally adverse. This article reflects on it. From a hermeneutic posture, and by the Attachment Theory as well as crisis Theory, ethnographic techniques and tools are used to understand and explain this observed reality.

Taking Nayarlab Cinema in the city of Tepic in western Mexico as a case of study, this crisis would reveal two paradoxes. One, that although attachments make you vulnerable, they also provide certainty and; two, that although public spaces in the city were prohibited, they were shown to be an efficient fear dissipator. In both senses, it is also revealed that this particular cinema, as a place and ritual of affection, due to its proximity and scale, even in hiding, would become a sponsor of the four most assisted attachments to emotionally compensate for any catastrophe.
