Abstract

Zarra reflects on the symbolism during the pandemic in Brazil. The numerous variations of Brazil, the colonialist plan entrenched in slavery continues on its systemic course, as revealed in the relations between racialized peoples--mainly black and indigenous people--and white people. One of the tragic symbols marking the beginning of the pandemic triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 virus was the death of a domestic worker who lived in the periphery of Rio de Janeiro and who caught the virus in the apartment where she worked in the Alto Leblon neighborhood from her boss who had traveled to Italy. This emblematic case exposes the vulnerability of the population of the periphery who have been expelled from the centre of the city and neglected by public authorities in this process of historical abandonment and intensification of the notion of subject/subject, subject/object.
