THE PANDEMIC AS A TOTAL SOCIAL FACT, AS A CRISIS, AND AS URBAN INEQUALITY

The spread of the COVID-19 Virus, transformed into a Pandemic, has generated a series of actions that have affected all areas of daily life worldwide. Since February 2019, much has been said, written, and thought about the pandemic. Of course, we all have something to say. However, what about “new” can be said or thought about the pandemic? On the one hand, everything that has been said is inevitably “justified” by the “effects of the pandemic.” On the other hand, everything said and done can be analyzed. Moreover, this is the path that this presentation proposes. The pandemic has transformed and will transform all areas of life, at least for a while. Therefore, it will be a theme or a dimension to be considered for a long time by most investigations. That is why we need to think more about approaching the pandemic in analytical terms: which is the path to be taken by this inaugural class of the Postgraduate Program in Social Sciences.
