La difusión del nuevo coronavirus, la mortalidad que genera y las inéditas medidas globales de contención implementadas para frenar su avance -entre ellas el confinamiento- han trastocado nuestras vidas cotidianas hasta extremos inauditos. ¿Qué nos han desvelado estas diez semanas de cuarentena sobre el Perú?, ¿qué sabemos de la sociedad peruana que no conocíamos antes?, ¿qué nuevas luces nos aporta la actual coyuntura sobre el Estado peruano?, ¿cómo podemos aprovechar estos...
