EscriVid: Reflections and writings on pandemics and isolation
Keywords:
isolation, pandemic, social sciencesSynopsis
This publication is inspired by the humanities’ critical capacity to interpret historical and social changes, to speculate on their effects in different settings (public and private) and on different populations (human and non-human), and to highlight the ways in which these changes and effects are articulated through old and new discursive forms.
The book *EscriVid 2020. Reflections and Writings on Pandemic(s) and Isolation(s) constitutes a space for exchange and debate for those reflections that, from their respective work settings, teachers, students, and graduates have continued to engage in during this time (marked by a sudden change in routine and an equally abrupt shift in our ways of teaching, learning, working, and connecting) and which, perhaps, have found no other outlets than informal conversations with colleagues and friends and/or the equally informal dialogue facilitated by social media.
Aware that thinking, writing, and engaging in critical reflection and dialogue are our most frequent practices as scholars and professionals in the humanities and social sciences, and that all of these require a measured deliberation, this book invites us to give visibility to the reflections that the current experience of the pandemic and social isolation have sparked in us—reflections that may offer a valuable contribution to opening up present and future debates.
