DE “GRIPEZINHA” E “RESFRIADINHO” ÀS INCONTÁVEIS MORTES PELO CORONAVÍRUS: REFLEXÕES FILOSÓFICO-LINGUÍSTICAS SOBRE A RELAÇÃO SAÚDE-DOENÇA

Abstract

This paper addresses possible connections between philosophy and health with regard to the multiple meanings that we can catch from the Covid-19  event on the planet and in our country  taking into account the circulation of discourse in society. We anchor ourselves in philosophical studies by Bakhtin, Volóchinov, in the philosophical political-moral  of Sontag and in studies by Maingeneau, Mari, Possenti, Pêcheux, Orlandi and Foucault to reflect on the connectivity between philosophy- health in this phenomenon triggered by the plague that affects us in a radical way and makes us think about our place in the world. From the methodological point of view, we will make an analytical reading of the way the subjects interact with the language, the system ,code,  history, street art to tell and position themselves.  We chose as linguistic-discursive data to be examined: i) statements by the current President of the Republic about the disease and ii) the video-art/painting produced to publicize the work of the Spanish artist Pejac at a hospital. Philosophy with its theoretical-methodological framework can contribute to the unveiling of social voices that are opposed in this crisis, such as scientific denialism versus the observation of the catastrophic situation caused by the Coronavirus.
