Resumo: Based on Walter Benjamin's concept of allegory, this article proposes considerations about the links between the disappearance of human bodies by the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship and the death policies undertaken during the Covid-19 pandemic by its heirs, now in power. The argument starts from the allegorical expression of the corpse as emblem. In both contexts, such expression would be found in the very absence of these corpses. This absence prevents the work of collective mourning. Similarly, it provides a passive oblivion over which anti-democratic retrogressions, such as those that are taking shape now, in this other phase of neoliberalism, can be re-established.

O argumento parte da expressão alegórica do cadáver como emblema. Em ambos os contextos, tal expressão se encontraria na própria ausência desses cadáveres. Essa ausência impede o trabalho de luto coletivo. Analogamente, propicia um esquecimento passivo sobre o qual podem se instaurar, novamente, retrocessos antidemocráticos, como os que tomam forma agora, nesta outra fase do neoliberalismo.Universidade Federal do Norte do Tocantins2022-11-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufnt.edu.br/index.php/entreletras/article/view/1449010.20873/uft2179-3948.2022v13n2p40-51EntreLetras; v. 13 n. 2 (2022): DOSSIÊ - POÉTICAS E IMAGENS DO CAOS: ÉTICA, ESTÉTICA E POLÍTICA; 40 - 512179-3948reponame:EntreLetrasinstname:Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT)instacron:UFTporhttps://periodicos.ufnt.edu.br/index.php/entreletras/article/view/14490/20608Copyright (c) 2022 EntreLetrashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereti, Emerson2022-11-17T01:54:43Zoai:ojs2.ufnt.acessoacademico.com.br:article/14490Revistahttps://sistemas.uft.edu.br/periodicos/index.php/entreletras/indexPUBhttps://sistemas.uft.edu.br/periodicos/index.php/entreletras/oaientreletrasuft@gmail.com || dirpesq@ufnt.edu.br2179-39482178-9479opendoar:2022-11-17T01:54:43EntreLetras - Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT)false
