Resumen
Descripción
El presente artículo tiene la intención de reflexionar sobre la noción de tradición selectiva,
trabajada por Raymond Williams, como un posible herramental conceptual pertinente para el
análisis de las formas contemporáneas de mirar
hacia el pasado y re-instalar una tradición que
recupere esas miradas en el presente y en el futuro, en relación con el contexto actual, caracterizado por la crisis social y sanitaria, profundizada
por la pandemia de Covid-19.
Para ello, se propone pensar estas herramientas
conceptuales a partir de dos momentos diferenciados. En un primer lugar, revisaremos ciertas
referencias discursivas, en plataformas sociales
y medios de comunicación, que ofrecieron un
marco interpretativo para una experiencia individual y social inédita. En segundo lugar, se
pretenderá identificar incipientes estrategias
gubernamentales y de algunos actores de la sociedad civil como un posible intento de fundar
una tradición delimitada sobre el desarrollo de
la pandemia y sus derivas políticas, económicas
y sociales.
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.
