The Covid-19 pandemic, which has been beached worldwide since 2020, has deepened the intersectional inequalities in Brazil, which are at the crossroads of the oppressions of class, race, gender and sexuality. For the understanding of these, we rely here on decolonial critical theories through the construction of a decolonial methodology centered on coloniality-decoloniality tension. T he central question here is: how can a decolonial methodology help to understand aspects of the Brazilian pandemic reality, situated in the privilege-oppression pair? It is expected, therefore, to contribute to an ecology of Latin American and Caribbean knowledge, proposing a methodology that values social conflicts and the experiences of (r)existence.
