ABSTRACT
This study explores what types of digital life scenarios children practiced while facing the challenges of epidemic isolation, in which distance learning and limited social contact depended largely on new digital platforms. The study of children's mediatised activities within epidemic isolation can be approached from the perspective of radical contextualism, which has been widely used since the ethnographic turn in audience research that began in the late 1980s. Following this conceptual framework, the aim of the study is to identify the predominant experiences of isolated everyday life in a case study of schoolchildren and uncover typical collective groupings among young people. Based on a follow the child perspective, an online survey was conducted at a selected primary school, targeting children from 6th to 9th grade, to capture children's perceptions of online education and distance learning, prevalent digital use and their personal digital positioning. In an analytical sense, the collected sample of 110 schoolchildren was categorised using a cluster analysis to identify the typical scenarios of digital culture and show the diversity of online practices that children experienced during the COVID-19 isolation, even in a relatively homogeneous group of schoolchildren.

ABSTRACT
Članek se ukvarja z analizo spremenjene intradinamike vsakdanjega življenja zaradi prvega vala epidemije covid-19 in posledične karantene spomladi 2020. Na podlagi podatkov kvantitativne eksploratorne raziskave, izvedene v aprilu 2020 preko spleta na vzorcu 711 respondentov, o vsakdanjem življenju v času spomladanske karantene smo raziskovali spremembe vsakdanjih praks, odnosov, (duševnega in fizičnega) zdravja in počutja, percepcije obdobja v karanteni in vpliv karantene na (družbene) neenakosti (spol, starost, izobrazba, dohodek). Rezultati kažejo, da je reorganizacija vsakdanjega življenja v spomladanski karanteni prinesla določene spremembe vsakdanjih praks, ki pa so, kot smo domnevali, vendarle utemeljene v obstoječih strukturnih neenakostih, v kontekstu družine gre predvsem za neenakosti po spolu v delitvi družinskega dela.Alternate abstract:The article deals with an analysis of the changed intradynamics of everyday life as a result of the Covid-19 epidemic and the consequent quarantine in spring 2020. Based on data from a quantitative exploratory survey conducted online in April 1 2020 on a sample of 711 respondents regarding everyday life during the spring quarantine, we analysed changes in daily practices, attitudes, (mental and physical) health and well-being, perceptions of the quarantine period, and the quarantine's impact on (social) inequalities (gender, age, education, income). The results show the reorganisation of everyday life during the quarantine in spring has led to certain changes in everyday practices, which, as we assumed, are embedded in previously existing structural inequalities;in the family context, mainly gender inequalities are seen in the division of family-related labour.
