Resumen
STRA, Sebastián Matías. Pandemic and Tradition: Is it Possible to Look to the Future. Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2020, n.40, suppl.1, pp.357-365. ISSN 1853-984X.
This article intends to reflect on the notion of selective tradition, worked on by Raymond Williams, as a possible pertinent conceptual tool for the analysis of contemporary ways of looking at the past and re-installing a tradition that recovers those views in the present and in the future, in relation to the current context characterized by the social and health crisis, deepened by the Covid-19 pandemic. To do this, it is proposed to think about these conceptual tools from two different moments. In the first place, we will review certain discursive references, on social platforms and the media, which offered an interpretive framework for an unprecedented individual and social experience. Secondly, the objective is to identify incipient governmental strategies and those of some civil society actors as a possible attempt to found a defined tradition on the development of the pandemic and its political, economic and social drifts.
