The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant transformations and exposed social divisions worldwide. Social and Political Representations of the COVID-19 Crisis, a comprehensive book that weaves together political, sociological, psychological, and epidemiological analyses, provides insightful insights into these developments. With a strong focus on experiences in the Global South, the book challenges readers to question their beliefs about societies and their responses to collective catastrophes. Originally published in Spanish, this English edition has been thoroughly revised and updated.
The book explores the diverse strategies employed in different parts of the world to combat the pandemic, including elimination, mitigation, flattening the curve, and herd immunity. It argues that these strategies are guided by social representations that can be analyzed on epistemological, emotional, and ethical-moral levels. Drawing upon a wide range of thinkers, the book also investigates the crucial role of psychological defense mechanisms, such as denial of the pandemic's seriousness, paranoid responses to pain and frustration, and scapegoating and conspiracy theories.
This timely book analyzes the transformations in the social fabric brought about by the pandemic and raises important questions for the future of our societies. It will appeal to students and researchers in the humanities, social sciences, public health, and the general reader alike. By examining the political, sociological, psychological, and epidemiological dimensions of the COVID-19 crisis, Social and Political Representations of the COVID-19 Crisis offers valuable insights into the complex challenges we face as a global community.
