Resumen
La seguridad en Latinoamérica ha sido abordada tradicionalmente desde una visión estatocén-trica y marcadamente realista, destacando las amenazas que sufre el Estado frente a un actor externo o frente a desestabilizaciones internas. Este artículo busca resaltar la idoneidad de intro-ducir los estudios feministas de seguridad y la ética del cuidado en los análisis de seguridad, en aras de redefinir las amenazas y qué implica “sentirse seguro”, máxime en el escenario generado por la pandemia de la COVID-19. Para ello, se evidencian las lagunas y los silencios de las teorías dominantes a la hora de entender el agravamiento de los desafíos a la seguridad en los primeros seis meses de pandemia y cómo desde la ética del cuidado sí se incorporan esos matices y percepciones de seguridad. Se concluye que la ética del cuidado conlleva un ensanchamiento conceptual a la hora de analizar –académica y políticamente– las amenazas a la seguridad en Latinoamérica.
Security in Latin America has traditionally been addressed from a state-centric and notable realistic perspective, underlining the threats to the state, from an external actor or from in-ternal destabilization. This paper aims to highlight the suitability of incorporating Feminist Security Studies and Care Ethics in security analysis in order to redefine threats and what “feeling safe” implies, especially in the scenario generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, the gaps and silences in mainstream theories in the diagnoses on the worsening of the security challenges in the first semester of the pandemic are evidenced. Also, the nu-ances and perceptions of security included in the Care Ethics approach are highlighted. It is concluded that the conceptual broadening that the Care Ethics approach entails is relevant to analyze –academically and politically– the se-curity threats in Latin America.
