After the End: Lived Experiences of Women in the Aftermath of the Zika and Covid Emergencies in Brazil
Brazil was the epicenter of two global health emergencies in the past decade, Zika and Covid. During both emergencies, women were the most-impacted people. For global and local health policies, an emergency has an ending, a moment when the state of alert is lifted. My project is to understand how the declaration of “the ending” of an emergency is understood and experienced by the affected population, particularly women and their families in Brazil. I will review my ethnographic data collected in the past decade to explore how “the ending” is shaped by different understandings of time, space, biographies, relations, and (inter)dependencies among affected women. During my stay at the Wissenschaftskolleg, I want to dedicate time to reviewing the literature about how time is a lived and contextualized experience and to work on my empirical data with the aim of writing on the significance of time and the politics of survival in the aftermath of health emergencies.Recommended Works and Reading
