Abstract
This essay aims to discuss the affinity between the aesthetics of everyday report, testimonial and diaries with the specificity of Covid-19 pandemic experience. It was noted the focus on the traces of this historical moment in everyday life as a very shared experience of the pandemic, which resulted in a boost to presentification. Our hypothesis is that a structure of feeling was formed in the experience of pandemic phase of social distancing and isolation. This structure was matured through the production and fruition of ordinary records as a valorization of the aesthetic forms as diaries and testimonials of ordinary people. Through the experience of a virtual group for sharing reports and the mapping of several initiatives on report collection, the essay analyses how certain Covid-19 pandemic experiences are related with the notions of trauma, mourning and extraordinary.
