Título: | The pandemic and the contradictions of contemporaneity | Autor: | Santos, Boaventura de Sousa | Palavras-chave: | Pandemic; Globalisation; Contemporaneity; Inequality | Data: | 14-Jun-2022 | Editora: | Bristol University Press | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Global Social Challenges Journal | Volume: | 1 | Número: | 1 | Local de edição ou do evento: | Bristol | Resumo: | In this paper I argue that the new coronavirus pandemic has brought to light some of the contradictions and paradoxes of our time, namely the contrast between human fragility and the technological hubris linked to the fourth industrial revolution (artificial intelligence); and the contrast between the TINA ideology (there is no alternative) and the sudden and extreme changes in our everyday life caused by the virus, thus suggesting that there are indeed alternatives. I then analyse the main metaphors that have been used in public discourse concerning our relations with the virus: the virus as an enemy; the virus as a messenger; the virus as pedagogue. I prefer the last one and explain why, and in what sense the virus is our contemporary. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/100453 | ISSN: | 2752-3349 | DOI: | 10.1332/NMEO9015 | Direitos: | openAccess |
