"Que longo trajeto o da etnografia! De um conceito usado pelos antropólogos para se referir ao seu fazer, o que incluía o estranhamento, o trabalho de campo, mas também um diálogo teórico com autores da disciplina, até sua banalização atual, sendo sinônimo para todo o procedimento de pesquisa não quantitativa que envolva contato direto com pessoas – ou, até, como no caso, contato mediado por uma câmera de filmar". CARMEN RIAL (presidente da Associação Brasileira de Antropologia) Carmen Rial acerta em cheio ao dizer, no prefácio do livro, o quanto a etnografia, ao mesmo tempo em que ganhou novos campos, perdeu elementos que a caracterizavam em seu escopo inicial. A etnografia...

An illuminating, indispensable analysis of a watershed moment and its possible aftermath. For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this naive alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences to reflect on the myriad ways SARS-CoV-2 has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.
