O negacionismo na pandemia do Covid-19 e a Psicanálise

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has shone through a 21st century contradiction in which "information was" turned into a sea of fake news and denialism. With this, it is possible to perceive, along with the growth of denialism, tied to it, necropolitical practices and mass groups that drive fake news. The present work aims to analyze the denialist rhetoric present in the dynamics of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil through the psychoanalytic perspective, in order to understand the dimensions of scientific negaism during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this, we chose to analyze the following fronts: The Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, Denialism in the Covid-19 Pandemic, Denialism and history and Denial and Mourning. Finally, it was possible to understand that the denialist discourse produces practices and articulations that do not completely prevent the population in relation to the pandemic, thus leaving the population at a higher risk that could be avoided.
