The quarantine from the public not only created a dialectics of home and the world but also re-enacted estrangement upon the gendered bodies within the same home metaphor. By engaging with the autobiographies of solitaire of the past and the experiences and expressions of contemporary locked down selves the paper tries to understand the erasures and silences into the discourse on self and solitude and the possibility and impossibly of tactical manoeuvres on the part of the silenced bodies within the quarantine induced domesticity in India.","PeriodicalId":167973,"journal":{"name":"Salesian Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129487227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each period had a unique system of governance, till the seventeenth century pre-modern society was based on an archaic system, followed by modern system based on the penal system.1Significantly, revolutions in the domain of technology helped the state re-define its system of governance to be unique from its predecessors. The political feature of the post-eighteenth-century society was based on the general strategy of power generated through the medium of discipline, subsequently creating a huge gap that was situated between the state and its subjects, erasing the friction between them—failing to do so the state would face resistance from the lower half of the spectrum, leading to the perils of state. The idea of ruling and regulating over the individuals and the mechanisms on how it functioned has been the same, only the field of application has changed.","PeriodicalId":167973,"journal":{"name":"Salesian Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125120527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
