MEDEIROS, Rogério de Souza  and  LIRA, Bruno Ferreira Freire Andrade. The reading of the privilege-oppression pair in the Brazilian pandemic context by decolonial critical theories: A proposal of a decolonial methodology. Anál. Social [online]. 2023, n.246, pp.54-72.  Epub Mar 31, 2023. ISSN 0003-2573.  https://doi.org/10.31447/as00032573.2023246.04.

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. The 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.

Keywords : social markers of difference; decolonial methodology; privilege-oppression; pandemic.
