Abstract

In dialogue with Canclini’s reflction during the quarantine of Mexico City in 2009 due to the H1N1 epidemic, our article focuses on the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to discuss the unfolding of the Covid-19 pandemic. The worsening of the crisis denounces and exposes the flgrant social inequalities fostered by the current model of management of urban spaces that associates the political with the economic, favoring the concentration of income and limiting access to all kinds of resources. Communication, surveillance, sociability, and citizenship are interwoven in this discussion. In the end, we argue about the urgency of creating an invigorated common horizon of debate and collective action by uniting the political and the social spheres.
