Abstract:

The aim of this article is to make a theoretical reflection on the historical-social foundations of the COVID-19 pandemic. From the historical materialistic theoretical matrix, the categories of “capital globalization”, “capital-imperialism”, “space-time compression” and “structural crisis of capital” are evoked, tracing a way that goes beyond the limits of the Health Sciences in order to understand global health, of which the COVID-19 pandemic is an expression. Then there is a return to the field of health, when the category of “social determination of health” makes it possible to elucidate the bases of the pandemic studied. It is demonstrated that, besides the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 or the dynamics of rapid transit of people and objects around the world, there are other elements typical of the current phase of contemporary capitalism that have become universal, unifying the process of social determination of health.
