The cruel pedagogy of the virus
Author: Boaventura de Sousa Santos
The pandemic's disruption of daily life has thrown a sense of "normality" into crisis. In response, sociologist Boaventura de Sousa Santos poses a series of unsettling questions: What potential knowledge can be gained from the coronavirus pandemic? Do democracies lack the political capacity to respond to emergencies? What does quarantine mean for workers who earn their daily bread?
The critical mass library makes available to readers a set of essential texts to interpret the frayed edges of the present and to deploy collective capacities to transform it.
