Resumen
En este artículo se analizarán las compras masivas de un producto básico como el papel higiénico y la repercusión de este comportamiento en la sociedad dentro la coyuntura actual de la COVID-19 en Lima, Perú. Para ello, nos basamos en conceptos como el miedo líquido, la antropología de consumo y la psicología de masas para que nos ayuden a sustentar lo siguiente: detrás de un comportamiento aparentemente irracional, existe un aparato cultural determinado por el modelo neoliberal que promueve la obtención de bienes materiales como un proceso de satisfacción y búsqueda de estabilidad inconsciente. Asimismo, nos valdremos del método autoetnográfico para lograr un mayor involucramiento con el fenómeno. De esa manera, las conclusiones estarán ligadas a nuestra percepción respecto a lo que estas prácticas generan. Al seguir estos hallazgos, se puede observar la necesidad de que se aborde este tema en futuras investigaciones posteriores sobre la coyuntura de la COVID-19.
In this article, we will analyze the massive purchases of basic products such as toilet paper, as well as the repercussions of these behaviors in society in the current COVID-19 situation, in Lima, Perú. For this purpose, we rely on concepts such as liquid fear, consumer anthropology and crowd psychology, to help us support the following thesis: behind an apparently irrational behavior, there is a cultural apparatus determined by the neoliberal model that promotes the obtaining of material goods as a process of satisfaction and search for unconscious stability on individuals. Likewise, we will use the autoethnographic method to achieve greater involvement with the conclusions derived from the study, mainly those related to the self-perception that these excessive consumption practices generate in others. Following these findings, they confirm the need to address this issue in future research on the COVID-19 situation.
