Online course at Zoom
 

In this last session, conceived as a debate, we will focus on the current situation of the covid-19 global emergency.

Our focus on how structural inequalities have been developed through space and urbanity by the process of capitalist colonialization has been clearly evidenced, if it ever needed to be, by the pandemic. We want to be able to use the analysis framework established by the course to think about the political management of the virus. How the very idea of ​urbanity gives keys to understanding the new paradigm left behind by the covid-19 crisis.
