Notes for a post-pandemic philosophy: thinking in grief/mourning?

Abstract

This article elaborates considerations that aim to present conditions and possibilities for philosophical thinking after the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a study of a theoretical nature carried out through conceptual investigation in various bibliographic sources. The “Introduction” presents the context of pandemic mortality; then in a first moment called “It is not always easy to bury our dead...” seeks to reflect on the construction of memorials to victims and reports of grief/mourning from survivors; in a second moment called “Is there grief/mourning and melancholy in thought?” seeks to reflect on the concepts of grief/mourning and melancholy and their relationship with thinking; in a third moment called “Thinking in (about/as) grief/mourning?” seeks to reflect on post-pandemic philosophical thinking as a process similar to grief/mourning/melancholy and; finally, in the “final considerations” the power of thinking in grief/mourning to face the devices of the performance society and its productivist logic is affirmed.
