0179/2022 - Solidariedade pandêmica: respostas da sociedade diante da insuficiência estatal Pandemic solidarity: society\'s responses to state insufficiency
A pandemia de Covid-19 chegou ao Brasil em um contexto de crises política e econômica que aprofundaram desigualdades e vulnerabilidades já existentes. Ações de apoio ao outro foram empreendidas por pessoas e organizações no sentido de mitigar os efeitos da pandemia. Foram realizadas 34 entrevistas entre outubro e novembro de 2020 com a finalidade de identificar as ações de apoio efetivadas para ajudar o outro, analisando-os em termos de solidariedade (pandêmica). Solidariedade e individualismo apareceram com frequência nas entrevistas como qualificadores das ações. Além disso, foram identificados 3 núcleos em que essas ações foram operadas: a família, o condomínio e a comunidade. A família foi citada como uma forma de suporte mútuo fundamentado pelo parentesco. Já as ações do condomínio se subdividiram entre as ações para dentro dos muros (ações de suporte mútuo entre semelhantes) e para fora dos muros (que revelam a diferenciação entre o condomínio e locais mais pobres). A comunidade se mostra como uma forma mais potente de ação, com experiências de autogestão, apoio mútuo e vulnerabilidade compartilhada. Nesse sentido, os resultados nos animam a compreender a solidariedade como método transformador da sociedade, independente da presença do Estado.

Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic reached Brazil in a context of deepening political and economic crises that have deepened existing inequalities and vulnerabilities. Actions to support others were undertaken by individuals and organizations in order to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. Thirty-four interviews were conducted between October and November 2020 with the aim of identifying the support actions carried out to help others, analyzing them in terms of (pandemic) solidarity. Solidarity and individualism appeared frequently in the interviews as qualifiers of such actions. Furthermore, 3 nuclei were identified in which these actions were operated: the family, the condominium and the community. The family was mentioned as a form of mutual support, based on kinship. In the condominium, on the other hand, actions were subdivided between the actions inside the walls (actions of mutual support among similar people) and outside the walls (which reveal the differentiation between the condominium and poorer places). The community demonstrates a more potent form of action, with experiences of self-management, mutual support and shared vulnerability. In this sense, the results encourage us to understand the solidarity as a method of transforming society, regardless of the presence of the state.
