São Paulo na Covid-19: uma abordagem multidisciplinar

Abstract

With the support of PIPEq – PUC-SP Research Incentive Plan –, this collection reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the city of São Paulo in different areas of knowledge. The multidisciplinary perspective asks: in times of pandemic, how do the city and its territories propose ways to overcome and/or adapt to this scenario? How can we break the siege and overcome it? The answer was to question it, problematize it, giving rise to ideas that, contrary to lament and denialism, energize thinking, affecting it sensitively and critically, investing it with indignation and political, social, and cultural power, in the face of an unknown event that affected our subjective life and, singularly, our social life. All steps of the research and its results are available on a digital platform. We hope to incite new discussions, open up possibilities for exchanges between areas of knowledge, face the announced challenges, learn from the cracks in the event about innovative practices and alternative experiences, bringing confrontations and complexities into play.
