Os nossos corpos e o legado da pandemia. Uma leitura de Heidegger e Drummond de Andrade

The pandemic made room for a series of denialist behaviors and speeches that sought to deny the need for social distancing. For this reason, its legacy amounts to the thousands of deaths that could have been avoided. Based on the analysis of texts by Heidegger, excerpts from the tradition and poems by the Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade, this study will show that denialism takes root in profound tendencies of our tradition, and shows that its criteria are not adequate to the event of pandemic. Its main objective is to propose a new measure through which we can come to think, together, about this terrible legacy that lies ahead for all of us.
