VL - 6 IS - 3 SE - Human and Social Sciences against Covid-19 DO - 10.20873/uft.2447-4266.2020v6n3a12en UR - https://sistemas.uft.edu.br/periodicos/index.php/observatorio/article/view/10543 SP - a12en AB - <p>The objective of this work is to take literary representations of the shanty towns to discuss the way the unequal occupation of spaces impacts the contagion index of COVID-19, which in Brazil represents a higher mortality probability among the Afro-descendant population, which is mostly resident of degraded spaces in the city. To this end, spatial representations developed in the literary field work as a starting point for reflections on the center and periphery relationship and, consequently, for analyzing how the many discourses generated can make some places and, thus, their residents invisible.</p> ER -
