Title: | Questioning Resilience: An Examination of the Effects of and Responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Peripheries of Brazil | Authors: | Maschietto, Roberta Holanda Tomesani, Ana Maura |
Keywords: | Brazil; Brazilian peripheries; Covid-19 pandemic; resilience | Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | SAGE | Project: | FCT grant reference SFRH/BPD/124190/2016 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Politics in Latin America | Volume: | 15 | Issue: | 2 | Abstract: | In this article, we assess the effects of and responses to the Covid-19 pandemic in the Brazilian peripheries by relying on resilience theory and the experiences of peripheral actors during the first year of the pandemic.We consider these experiences to examine whether the initial responses to the crisis had the potential to bring about long-term positive change.We rely on thematic analysis of 80 interviews with leaders of grassroots organizations of different nature all over the country between October 2020 and January 2021. We argue that we cannot speak of resilience and system change unless we engage with the voices of those most affected by adversity. While in its first year the pandemic brought important traces of structural violence to the surface, providing an opportunity for structural change, peripheral views at that moment cast doubts about the extent to which those changes could lead to long-term structural changes. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/112217 | ISSN: | 1866-802X 1868-4890 |
