Covid-19, Political imagination, PandemicAbstract
The essay aims is to weave some relations that explain the construction of a political imagination around the pandemic launched by the new coronavirus, but that is not limited to it, projecting itself towards other imaginary in what I have called political-viral imagination . To begin with, therefore, it is important to note that imagination, here, is not taken as an illusion, but as a form of consciousness that points to the social subject's reflective paths.
