NOT EVEN DEATH UNITES US: THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY IN POST-COVID-19

ABSTRACT

This text intends to shift the centrality of the debate about COVID-19 to the human condition post-pandemic. We use the concept of imitation as an axis (Tarde, 1978), in addition to other authors who contribute to the reflection on the "tragedies" generated by the new Coronavirus, based on the climate of insecurity and fear established in humanity and the economy. We propose a theoretical essay in which we use resources from the "sociological imagination", in the sense of prospecting the inversion of the established order and we present nine different and correlated arguments, as an analysis of the possible panorama that offers a hope in the context of use the direct and pronoun transitive verb "to hope", of political action, of longing, of seeking and contrary to the act of waiting.
