Abstract
Resumen: Este artículo intenta dar cuenta de qué modo la experiencia de la pandemia cualificó al presente como un “presente suspendido”. A tal fin, se desarrolla el concepto de “evento sin precedentes” siguiendo a Derrida y a Simon. El objetivo es mostrar que la pandemia hizo posible configurar un “nosotros como especie”, sujeto considerado, por Chakrabarty, imposible de experimentar como humanos. Abstract: This article tries to show how our pandemic´s experience qualified our present as a “present in-between”, a “suspended present”. Following Derrida and Simon, “unprecedented event” as a concept is analyzed. The objective is to show that pandemic´s experience made us to configure a “we as a species”. Chakrabarty considered impossible this last concept.
