Experienced-landscapes memories during the COVID-19 pandemic: understandings of a socio-environmental disaster

Abstract

The objective of this article was to discuss the landscapes experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Which address the sum of understandings about adaptation and life circumstances. Lived landscape merges with what we do daily in the environment in which we are inserted and presents attributes arising from significant concrete situations in the lived world. The landscapes shared in the research are narrative actions, or oral descriptions, of places impacted on the lives of subjects during the COVID-19 pandemic. The adopted methodology provided the collection of narratives about experienced landscapes. From the captured memories, blocks of understanding emerged as thematic units on the discussion about everyday lived landscape. The aim was to capture experiences of local lived landscapes during the pandemic and the potential of memory to think about plural pandemics. The pandemic resulting from Covid-19 is considered a socio-environmental disaster that was not the same for everyone. At last, this text sought to capture experiences of landscapes lived during a pandemic, and the potential of memory to think about plural pandemics.
