Tempo e sociedade em suspenso/Time and society in the lounge

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic is going to be a landmark in world-historical time. As a moment of interruption, suspension, and crisis, the current times are strongly disruptive and effervescent. Running to anticipate consequences, society is in the lounge, waiting for the phase to pass, expecting the equilibrium to be restored. However, one knows that time flows, and reversibility will not be possible. This book presents a set of contributions aiming to interrogate and understand the meanings of time collapse and anticipate its effects and consequences, from the perspective of the social sciences.
