Weaving together political, sociological, psychological, and
epidemiological analyses, Social and Political Representations of
the COVID-19 Crisis provides revealing insights into the
transformations wrought by the pandemic and the social divisions it
has exposed. Accounting for the realities of the pandemic across
the globe, with a strong focus on experiences in the Global South,
this book challenges readers to question their beliefs about the
societies they live in and how these societies should respond to
collective catastrophes. Originally published in Spanish, this
English edition is thoroughly revised and updated. Social and
Political Representations of the COVID-19 Crisis analyzes the
varied strategies attempted in different parts of the world to deal
with the pandemic, including elimination, mitigation, flattening
the curve, and herd immunity, and the ramifications of these
approaches. It argues that the different 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 key role of psychological
defense mechanisms, including different ways of denying the
seriousness of the pandemic and different paranoid responses to
pain and frustration, such as scapegoating and conspiracy theories.
This timely book analyzes the transformations in the social fabric
brought about by the pandemic and the questions it poses for the
future of our societies. It will therefore be of great interest to
students and researchers in the humanities, social sciences, and
public health, as well as the general reader.
