LOPES, José Alaíde dos Santos. On life and death in times of a pandemic. Estud. psicanal. [online]. 2021, n.56, pp. 93-98. ISSN 0100-3437.

This paper aims to discuss human issues since the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic, make some connections with other pandemics that have plagued humanity, and find issues that permeate some of them. We will discuss the behaviors, conducts, and some thoughts that motivate, move, and lead the person and those around him/her, the necessary coexistence with the other, the isolation that opposes the enormous virtual exposure. At the same time, the fear of death and the desire for it. The impulses that lead the subject to preserve himself, to expose himself and others. The feeling of finitude, the deadly breath, and the phallic experience of taking the vaccine, of incorporating protection against the virus by means of an inactivated virus. Injecting death (the dead virus) to gain life

Palabras clave : Pandemic; Coronavirus; Plagues; Social isolation.
