BLOSS, Gerusa Morgana  e  ALVES, Lucas de Oliveira. Innumberable and the pandemic: memory as resistance to life quantification. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.52, pp.761-776. ISSN 2175-1390.

This article aims to discuss some aspects of the political management of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus, as well as to analyze memorial projects that oppose the discourse of quantification of life engendered by spheres of power. We started from the concepts of biopolitics and thanatopolitics, respectively in Foucault and Agamben, to reflect on the logic of managing life and death that unfolds and worsens during the pandemic in Brazil. Regarding memory, we rescued and articulated the thoughts of Freud and Benjamin as a way of thinking about a memory that is individual and collective, articulated to grief and the possibility of narrating the time in which we live. We highlight works by Ai Weiwei and the project Inumeráveis in Brazil, seeking to reflect on how these memorialistic works can resist a policy of erasing the singular value of life.

Palavras-chave : Biopolitics; Grief; Memory; Pandemic; Thanatopolitics.
