Women and working in healthcare during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil: bullying of colleagues.

BACKGROUND: Based on a feminist approach, we analyzed the experiences of workplace bullying suffered by women front-line healthcare professionals dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. We start from studies that show that women make up 70% of the global health workforce, 85% in the area of nursing, and 90% in the case of social care workers. An unequivocal need thus exists to address gender issues regarding the composition of the labor force in the health area. The pandemic has aggravated recurring problems involving healthcare professionals at the various caregiving levels, such as mental harassment (bullying) and its effects on mental health. METHODS: Data were gathered from an online survey of a convenience (non-probability) sample composed of 1,430 volunteer respondents, all women that work in the public health system in Brazil. The analyses and discussions involved the responses to a questionnaire containing 12 closed-ended questions and one open-ended question. RESULTS: The results revealed a context of workplace bullying aggravated by precarious material, institutional and organizational conditions in the area of health services against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. This context has variously led to aggression, isolation, heavy workloads, and invasion of privacy, humiliation, persecution and fear as it was possible to see, mainly, in the answers to the study's open-ended question. This situation degrades both work relations and the integrity of the healthcare professionals who work on the front line to treat Covid-19 cases. CONCLUSION: We conclude that bullying is a psychosocial phenomenon that heightens the oppression and subordination still experienced by women in the contemporary context, but with new hues in a scenario of frontline response to Covid-19.

Gender and Race on the Frontline: Experiences of Health Workers in Brazil during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Studies on the differential effects of health emergencies have largely overlooked women health workers. Whilst the literature has shown the impact of Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) on women and on healthcare workers, little research has considered the gendered effects of the health workforce. This article analyses the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers and working conditions in Brazil's public healthcare system, through consideration of gendered and racialized understandings of care and work. Data were taken from an online survey of 1,263 health workers, undertaken between September and October 2020, disaggregated by sex and by race in order to understand health workers' experiences of the pandemic in one of the countries most significantly affected by the crisis.

Gender and Food insecurity in the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: hunger through women's voices. / Gênero e Insegurança alimentar na pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil: a fome na voz das mulheres.

This paper presents the results of the research nested in the international project "Gender and COVID-19", which includes several topics related to the impact of the pandemic on the lives of women and their families, including food insecurity and hunger. Semi-structured interviews were conducted from December 2020 to November 2021 with 49 women living in two urban conglomerates, Cabana do Pai Tomás (Belo Horizonte, MG) and Sapopemba (São Paulo, SP), and two rural quilombola communities, Córrego do Rocha (Chapada do Norte, MG) and Córrego do Narciso (Araçuaí, MG). The analyses were based on the following categories: hunger-related feelings and terms; reduced food amount and quality; lack of food and nutrients; difficulties producing food, receiving emergency aid or food donations; governments evaluation and support networks. The respondents' reports show the challenges they experienced, their coping methods, and criticism of the government's lack of responses. Besides presenting a gender perspective, women, especially the leaders who worked in the construction of solidarity networks, are fundamental voices in planning actions to prevent and mitigate the impacts of emergencies in their communities.

Neste artigo apresentamos resultados de uma pesquisa que integra o projeto internacional "Gender and COVID-19", que contempla diversos temas relacionados aos impactos da pandemia na vida de mulheres e suas famílias, entre eles a insegurança alimentar e a fome. Foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas entre dezembro de 2020 e novembro de 2021 com 49 mulheres, moradoras de dois aglomerados urbanos, Cabana do Pai Tomás (Belo Horizonte, MG) e Sapopemba (São Paulo, SP), e de duas comunidades rurais quilombolas, Córrego do Rocha (Chapada do Norte, MG) e Córrego do Narciso (Araçuaí, MG). As análises foram baseadas nas seguintes categorias: sentimentos e termos relacionados à fome; redução na quantidade e qualidade de alimentos; ausência de alimento e nutrientes; dificuldades para produzir alimento, receber auxílio emergencial e/ou doação de alimentos; avaliação dos governos e redes de apoio. Os relatos das entrevistadas evidenciam os desafios vivenciados, suas formas de enfrentamento e críticas à falta de respostas dos governos. Além de apresentarem uma perspectiva de gênero, as mulheres, em especial as lideranças que atuaram na construção de redes de solidariedade, são vozes fundamentais no planejamento de ações de prevenção e mitigação dos impactos de situações emergenciais em suas comunidades.

How do community health workers institutionalise: An analysis of Brazil's CHW programme.

Community health workers (CHWs) are framed as the link between communities and the formal health system. CHWs must establish trusting relationships with the community and with the broader health service. How to find the optimal balance between the various strands of work for CHWs, and how to formalise this, has been the focus of different studies. We performed an extensive documentary analysis of federal legislation in Brazil to understand the institutionalisation of the CHW workforce in Brazil over the last 3 decades. The paper offers three contributions to the literature: the development and application of an analytical framework to consider the institutionalisation process of CHWs; a historical analysis of the professional institutionalisation of CHW in Brazil; and the identification of the paradoxes that such institutionalisation faces: firstly, institutionalisation focused on improving CHW remuneration created difficulties in hiring and paying these professionals; when CHW are incorporated within state bureaucracy they start to lose their autonomy as community agents; and that the effectiveness of CHW programmes depends on the improvement of clinical services in the most deprived areas.

Examining the Intersection between Gender, Community Health Workers, and Vector Control Policies: A Text Mining Literature Review.

Gender intersects with healthcare systems; this is equally true for arboviral vector control efforts. However, there is as yet no comprehensive analysis as to how vector control is gendered. Hence, our objective is to provide the first thematic scoping and spatial distribution of the literature on gender, community health workers, and vector control. The authors use a systematic review approach to collect the academic literature on gender, community health workers, and vector control in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed (7,367 articles). After applying the exclusion criteria, 2,812 articles were analyzed using machine learning techniques: text mining and quantitative text analysis. The authors use topic modeling to assess the thematic scope of the literature and analyze the spatial distribution of themes. Our results show that the literature's spatial scope is strongly represented by the global south as research was conducted mainly in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, places with greater incidence of vector-borne disease and with health systems, which incorporate community healthcare workers. However, there are significant spatial heterogeneities in where and how research is conducted. The topic analysis reveals that the literature predominantly considers issues of sex (e.g., pregnancy) and gender as it relates motherhood. Gendered considerations occur upon implementation of vector control policies, rather than being mainstreamed into their development and delivery. There is a need to deepen the analysis to allow for gendered aspects to be understood beyond binary sex differences and/or reproductive health.

Public Involvement & Engagement in health inequalities research on COVID-19 pandemic: a case study of CIDACS/FIOCRUZ BAHIA.

Introduction: Health inequalities in Brazil have deepened on Covid-19 pandemic, and the most vulnerable people were the more affected. A multidisciplinary team from Cidacs/Fiocruz Bahia developed a Social Disparities Index for Covid-19 (IDS-COVID-19) to support the evaluation of effects of health inequalities on the pandemic in Brazil. Public Involvement and Engagement were the pillars of this research because they allowed us to access first hand experiences about the social context in our country. Objectives: This paper aims to describe our Public Involvement and Engagement experience by analysing our challenges, strategies, activities, results, and lessons learned during the construction of IDS-COVID-19. Methods: The basis of the IDS-Covid-19 public engagement model was the participation of different social groups through methods and techniques that allow dialogue. Several activities and communication products supported the continuous interactions. Another guideline was the inclusion and the welcoming of participants from the beginning of the project to ensure that the participant's contributions could drive decision-making about the research. Results: Participants made several contributions to the research as a new layer of information to the Index, and improvements were made to the interactive panel. They also compromised to support the dissemination and use of the product. Eight representatives of community groups and 29 policymakers participated in our engagement activities during the project. More than 500 people were in our open webinars. In addition, more than 140 news items about IDS-Covid-19 were published in national and international media. Conclusions: We highlight as lessons learned the adaptation of some dissemination formats to the public, and the necessity of being flexible and accessible to participants. We strengthened the relationship with relevant stakeholders by exploring individual conversations by phone, WhatsApp, email, and interviews to produce a documentary that registered this whole experience. Cidacs/Fiocruz Bahia has also embedded public engagement and involvement in the study agenda.

"Eu preferia estar doente!": o cuidado a contrapelo. Um breve ensaio sobre o que a pandemia de Covid-19 pode revelar acerca do ofício da antropóloga / "I'd rather be ill!": care against the grain. A brief essay on what the Covid-19 pandemic can reveal about the craft of anthropology / "¡Preferiría estar enferma!": el cuidado a contrapelo. Un breve ensayo sobre lo que la pandemia de COVID-19 puede revelar sobre el oficio de la antropóloga

O presente ensaio se propõe a pensar, a partir de uma inspiração benjaminiana, o cuidado a contrapelo, buscando desnudá-lo. A autora do texto cruza sua experiência de cuidadora durante a pandemia de Covid-19 com as narrativas de suas interlocutoras na Serra Leoa (África do Oeste) durante a epidemia do ebola (2014-2016). A interseção dessas realidades - antropóloga-cuidadora e mulheres serra-leoneses cuidadoras - acaba levando a pesquisadora a pensar o próprio ofício da Antropologia, considerando questões de nomeação, gênero, raça, subalternidade, lugar de fala e o engenhoso espaço da relacionalidade.(AU)

Inspired by Benjaminian thinking, this essay proposes that we think about care against the grain in an attempt to denude it. The author crosscuts her experience as a caregiver during the Covid-19 pandemic with the narratives of her interlocutors in Sierra Leone (West Africa) during the Ebola epidemic (2014-2016). The intersection of these realities - an anthropologist caregiver and female Sierra Leonean caregivers - prompts the researcher to think about the craft of anthropology, considering issues such as designation, gender, race, subalternity, place of speech and the resourceful space of relationality.(AU)

Associações de mães e familiares afetados pela síndrome congênita de Zika vírus: perfil e principais discussões relacionadas / Associations of mothers and family members affected by congenital Zika virus syndrome: profile and main related discussions

Resumo No Brasil, o impacto de emergências sanitárias consecutivas nos últimos cinco anos, como a epidemia de zika (2015) e a pandemia de Covid-19 (2020), atingiu de forma aguda as famílias de crianças com síndrome congênita do zika (SCZ). Este artigo explora processos epidêmicos que replicam as intersecções de deficiência, cuidado, gênero, classe e raça, e propõe a construção de um perfil das associações civis de mães e familiares de crianças com SCZ, bem como suas mobilizações, sobretudo da União Mães de Anjos (UMA). A partir da literatura sobre o tema, realização de entrevistas e oficinas com as mães de crianças com SCZ ligadas às associações em diferentes partes do Brasil, observou-se que as epidemias produzem impactos desiguais em relação a idade, raça, classe, gênero, localidade e deficiência. Embora os impactos das emergências de saúde possam ser contínuos para as pessoas que vivem na intersecção de múltiplas opressões, destacamos a resistência na forma de capacidade organizacional para navegar no acesso a direitos e reconfigurar dinâmicas de poder.

This article explores epidemic processes that replicate the intersections of disability, care, gender, class and race, and proposes the construction of a profile of civil associations of mothers and families of children with CZS, as well as their mobilizations, especially the União Mães de Anjos (UMA). Based on the literature on the topic, interviews and workshops with mothers of children with CZS linked to associations in different parts of Brazil, it was observed that epidemics produce unequal impacts in relation to age, race, class, gender, location and disability. While the impacts of health emergencies can be ongoing for people living at the intersection of multiple oppressions, we highlight resistance in the form of organizational capacity to navigate access to rights and reconfigure power dynamics.

Development of a natural molluscicide prototype kit (MoluSchall) for the control of schistosomiasis mansoni transmission.

INTRODUCTION: In Brazil, Biomphalaria glabrata, B. tenagophila, and B. straminea are intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni, the etiological agent of schistosomiasis mansoni. Molluscicide use is recommended by the WHO for controlling the transmission of this parasite. Euphorbia milii latex has shown promising results as an alternative molluscicide. Thus, a natural molluscicide prototype kit based on freeze-dried E. milii latex was developed and evaluated against Biomphalaria spp. METHODS: E. milii latex was collected, processed, and lyophilized. Two diluents were defined for freeze-dried latex rehydration, and a prototype kit, called MoluSchall, was produced. A stability test was conducted using prototype kits stored at different temperatures, and a toxicity assay was performed using Danio rerio. Additionally, MoluSchall was tested against B. glabrata under semi-natural conditions according to defined conditions in the laboratory. RESULTS: MoluSchall was lethal to three Brazilian snail species while exhibiting low toxicity to D. rerio. Regardless of storage temperature, MoluSchall was stable for 24 months and was effective against B. glabrata under semi-natural conditions, with the same LD100 as observed under laboratory conditions. CONCLUSIONS: MoluSchall is a natural, effective, and inexpensive molluscicide with lower environmental toxicity than existing molluscicides. Its production offers a possible alternative strategy for controlling S. mansoni transmission.

Saúde, reprodução e sexualidade nos tempos da COVID-19: memórias incorporadas das mulheres no Brasil / Health, reproduction and sexuality in times of COVID-19: embodied memories of women in Brazil / Salud, reproducción y sexualidad en los tiempos de COVID-19: memorias encarnadas de las mujeres en Brasil

Objetivo: compreender como a pandemia de COVID-19 afetou a vida e a saúde das mulheres, com ênfase nos aspectos da saúde sexual e reprodutiva, e refletir sobre os direitos sexuais e reprodutivos e a justiça reprodutiva no contexto da crise sanitária. Metodologia: utilizou-se questionário online com 113 perguntas objetivas e uma questão aberta para comentários. De 8.313 mulheres que responderam ao questionário, 1.838 relataram suas vivências durante a pandemia na questão aberta. Esse material passou por técnicas de análise narrativa e temática e de construção de memória. Resultados: evidenciou-se a ampliação das dificuldades de acesso a serviços de saúde, em especial de saúde sexual e reprodutiva; o aprofundamento das iniquidades na divisão sexual do trabalho, com sobrecarga de trabalho doméstico e profissional; a insegurança econômica; o tensionamentos das relações afetivo-sexuais e maior exposição à violência; e importantes repercussões na saúde psicoemocional. Todos esses aspectos afetaram as experiências de saúde e adoecimento; a vida sexual; e os planos e experiências reprodutivas nos primeiros anos de pandemia. Conclusão: no Brasil, na sobreposição da emergência sanitária com a crise democrática de direitos, fatos sociais e fatos fisiológicos se misturam e se totalizam na experiência histórica e material do corpo sexual e reprodutivo das mulheres, seguindo as linhas de força das precariedades e injustiças de gênero, de raça e de classe. Os relatos das mulheres contribuem para a construção de uma memória coletiva ­não necessariamente unívoca e linear ­da pandemia. Memórias que podem não apenas ilustrar o momento presente, como contribuir para o entendimento e enfrentamento de crises semelhantes futuras.

Objective: this study seeks to comprehend the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women's lives and health, with a particular focus on sexual and reproductive health, andto reflect on sexual and reproductive rights and reproductive justice within the context of the health crisis.Methods:employing an online questionnaire featuring 113 objective questions and one open-ended question for free comments, the study gathered responses from 8,313 women. Out of these, 1,838 utilized the open question to articulate their experiences during the pandemic. The collected material underwent analysis using narrative and thematic approaches, along with memory construction techniques.Results:the findings indicate heightened challenges in accessing health services, particularly for sexual and reproductive health. The pandemic deepened inequities in the sexual division of labor, leading to increased domestic and professional workloads, economic insecurity, elevated tensions in affective-sexual relationships, greater exposure to violence, and notable repercussions on psycho-emotional health. These factors collectively influenced women's health/illness experiences, sexual lives, and reproductive plans during the initial years of the pandemic. Conclusion: the intersection of the health crisis with a democratic crisis in rights has intertwined social and physiological factors into the historical and material experiences of women's sexual and reproductive bodies. These experiences follow the trajectories of gender, race, and class-based precariousness and injustices. Women's accounts contribute to the construction of a collective memory of the pandemic that is not necessarily uniform or linear. Beyond illustrating the present moment, these memories aid in understanding and addressing similar crises in the future.

Objetivo: comprender cómo la pandemia de COVID-19 afectó la vida y la salud de las mujeres, con énfasis en aspectos de salud sexual y reproductiva y reflexionar sobre los derechos sexuales y reproductivos y la justicia reproductiva, en el contexto de la crisis sanitaria. Metodología:se utilizó un cuestionario online con 113 preguntas objetivas y una pregunta abierta para comentarios libres al final. De 8.313 mujeres que respondieron el cuestionario, 1.838 relataron sus experiencias durante la pandemia, en este espacio abierto. Este material fue analizado mediante técnicas análisis de narrativa y temática y de construcción de memoria. Resultados: hubo aumento de las dificultades para acceder a los servicios de salud, especialmente de salud sexual y reproductiva, profundización de las inequidades en la división sexual del trabajo, con sobrecarga de trabajo doméstico y profesional, inseguridad económica, tensiones en las relaciones afectivo-sexuales y mayor exposición. a la violencia, e importantes repercusiones en la salud psicoemocional. Todos estos aspectos afectaron las experiencias de salud/enfermedad, la vida sexual, los planes y experiencias reproductivas, en los primeros años de la pandemia. Conclusión: en Brasil, en el solapamiento de la crisis sanitaria con la crisis democrática y de derechos, hechos sociales y hechos fisiológicos se mezclan y totalizan en la experiencia histórica y material de los cuerpos sexuales y reproductivos de las mujeres, siguiendo las líneas de fuerza de la precariedad y las injusticias. de género, raza y clase. Las narrativas de las mujeres contribuyen a la construcción de una memoria colectiva ­no necesariamente unívoca y lineal ­ de la pandemia. Memorias que no sólo pueden ilustrar el momento presente, sino que también contribuyen a comprender y afrontar crisis futuras similares.

[Aesthetics of the grotesque and audiovisual production for health education: segregation or empathy? The case of leishmaniasis in Brazil]. / A estética do grotesco e a produção audiovisual para a educação em saúde: segregação ou empatia? O caso das leishmanioses no Brasil.

In order to understand audiovisual production on health and disease and the pedagogical effects of health education mediated by educational videos, this article analyzes the audiovisual production on leishmaniasis in Brazil. Fourteen educational videos showed the hegemony of TV aesthetics, particularly a journalistic paradigm with constant use of voice-over, inducing the fixation of meanings. Rather than stimulating critical reflection on the social circumstances of leishmaniasis, the videos' discourse and images promote a banal, non-critical, stigmatized representation of the disease. Individuals with the disease are subjected to visual exposure rather than being involved critically and sensitively as protagonists in prevention and treatment. The article thus presents approaches based on studies of visual and health anthropology, arguing in favor of an innovative approach to the production and utilization of educational videos in health education, mediated through audiovisuals. Health education should respect and engage in dialogue with various cultures, subjectivity, and citizenship, developing an audiovisual aesthetics (in terms of narrative and image) that fosters an educational praxis in the field of collective health.

Agroecologia e saúde coletiva na construção dos agrotóxicos como problema de saúde pública no Brasil / Agroecology and Collective Health in the construction of pesticides as a public health problem in Brazil

RESUMO A publicação do 'Dossiê Abrasco: um alerta sobre os impactos dos agrotóxicos na saúde', a partir de 2012, movimentou um amplo debate público sobre o enquadramento dos agrotóxicos como problema de saúde pública. Este artigo teve por objetivo analisar o papel dessa publicação como um ponto de inflexão ao promover uma arena de debate que reposiciona diversos atuantes que pactuam um consenso, ainda que instável e profundamente combatido por setores dominantes, sobre os efeitos dos agrotóxicos na saúde. Argumenta-se que o documento hibridizou seus sentidos ao visibilizar pesquisas e dados sobre o assunto e, também, ao se constituir como um documento-manifesto. Tal efeito é problematizado a partir do papel que a agroecologia assumiu no texto, apropriada como um lugar de reunião de forças diante da disputa travada com os arranjos vitais da formação econômica, agroexportadora e dependente do Brasil. Assim, por meio da abordagem dos estudos de Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS), discute-se o tortuoso e complexo processo de construção histórica e sociológica de um problema de saúde pública e como o 'Dossiê' contribuiu para reconfigurar um campo de batalha que tem na agroecologia um espaço próprio que congrega cientistas e movimentos sociais para transformarem a realidade juntos.

ABSTRACT The publication of the 'Dossiê Abrasco: an alert on the impacts of pesticides on health', since 2012, sparked a wide public debate on the classification of pesticides as a public health problem. This article aims to analyze the role of that publication as an inflection point, by promoting an arena of debate that repositions different actors who agree on a consensus, albeit unstable and deeply fought by dominant sectors, on the effects of pesticides on health. It is argued that the document hybridized its senses, making research and data on the subject visible and also constituting itself as a document-manifest. This effect is problematized based on the role that Agroecology assumed in the text, appropriate as a place of gathering forces in the face of the dispute with the vital arrangements of Brazil's agro-export and dependent economic formation. Thus, through the STS (Science, Technology, and Society) studies approach, we discuss the tortuous and complex process of historical and sociological construction of a public health problem and how the 'Dossier' contributed to reconfigure a battlefield that has in Agroecology a space that brings together scientists and social movements to transform reality together.

Gênero e Insegurança alimentar na pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil: a fome na voz das mulheres / Gender and Food insecurity in the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: hunger through women's voices

Resumo Neste artigo apresentamos resultados de uma pesquisa que integra o projeto internacional "Gender and COVID-19", que contempla diversos temas relacionados aos impactos da pandemia na vida de mulheres e suas famílias, entre eles a insegurança alimentar e a fome. Foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas entre dezembro de 2020 e novembro de 2021 com 49 mulheres, moradoras de dois aglomerados urbanos, Cabana do Pai Tomás (Belo Horizonte, MG) e Sapopemba (São Paulo, SP), e de duas comunidades rurais quilombolas, Córrego do Rocha (Chapada do Norte, MG) e Córrego do Narciso (Araçuaí, MG).

A participação da Fundação Rockefeller no processo de institucionalização da Escola de Enfermeiras Visitadoras na Colômbia / RockefellerFundation's participation in the institutionalization process of the School of Visiting Nurses in Colombia

Durante as décadas de 1920 a 1940, a Fundação Rockefeller (FR) teve papel central nos processos de institucionalização da enfermagem na América Latina e, em especial, na Colômbia. A Fundação desempenhou papel importante na formação de profissionais na enfermagem, sobretudo para as mulheres. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a atuação da FR no processo de institucionalização do campo da enfermagem colombiana por meio da Direção Nacional de Higiene, materializada no departamento de Enfermeiras Visitadoras. Assim, analisa-se a atuação de mulheres bolsistas da FR. Em específico, as trajetórias das bolsistas Jane Louise Cary White, Carolyn Tenney Ladd e Paulina Gomez-Vega. Além da literatura disponível, utiliza-se como fonte de pesquisa os fellowships card das referidas bolsistas.

Cenas discursivas da pandemia de Covid-19: o discurso sobre o isolamento social na imprensa / Covid-19 pandemic discourse scenes: the discourse of social isolation in the press / Escenas del discurso de la pandemia de Covid-19: el discurso del aislamiento social en la prensa

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar discursos do/no jornal O Globo, um veículo de referência no jornalismo brasileiro, sobre a estratégia de isolamento social como forma de contenção da pandemia de Covid-19. Para isso, tomou como base de observação e análise notícias e reportagens publicadas pelo jornal durante as duas primeiras semanas de medidas (do dia 16 ao dia 26 do mês de março de 2020). O estudo partiu da Análise de Discurso (Pêcheux/Orlandi) para compreender se houve deslocamentos de sentido em relação às medidas e aos embates discursivos que tiveram lugar entre autoridades políticas, de saúde e a própria população. O artigo conclui que mais do que produzir sentido sobre a cena discursiva que se instaurou durante esse período, o próprio jornal se fez ator nessa cena, participando de intrigas discursivas que nela tiveram lugar.

This article aims to analyze discourses by/in the newspaper O Globo, a reference vehicle in Brazilian journalism, about the strategy of social isolation as a way of containing the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose, it took as a base of observation and analysis news and reports published by the newspaper during the first two weeks of measures (from March 16to 26). The study started from Discourse Analysis (Pêcheux/ Orlandi) to understand if there have been displacements of meanings in relation to measures and the discursive clashes that took place between political, health authorities and the population itself. The article concludes that more than producing meaning about the discursive scene that was established during that period, the newspaper itself became an actor in that scene, participating in the discursive intrigues that took place on it.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los discursos del diario O Globo, vehículo de referencia en el periodismo brasileño, sobre la estrategia de aislamiento social como forma de contener la pandemia Covid-19. Para ello, tomó como base de observación y análisis las noticias e informes publicados por el diario durante las primeras dos semanas de medidas (del 16 al 26 de marzo). El estudio partió del Análisis del Discurso (Pêcheux/Orlandi) para entender si hubo algún desplazamiento de sentidos con relación a las medidas y los enfrentamientos discursivos que se produjeron entre las autoridades políticas, sanitarias y la propia población. El artículo concluye que más que producir significado sobre la escena discursiva que se instauró durante ese período, el propio diario se convirtió en actor de esa escena, participando de las intrigas discursivas que se desarrollaban en ella.
