Abstract

MENDES, Eliana Rodrigues Pereira. The faceless fear of covid 19 pandemic. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2021, n.56, pp.63-68. ISSN 0100-3437.

Fear is a non-pathological, universal emotion, typical of the highest beings of the animal scale. It has its origin in anguish and helplessness. It is characterized, unlike anxiety, as having an identifiable object. In the covid 19 pandemic, its cause, the corona virus, is not easily verifiable, which made fear much closer to anguish. All other human beings are seen as possible carriers of illness, which makes us vulnerable to human contact in all situations

Keywords : Fear; Anguish; Covid-19; Pandemic; Helplessness.
