Espace-temps pandémique : histoires, incertitudes et affects communicationnels dans un univers de multiples savoirs
Pandemic Space-time: Stories, Uncertainties and Communicational Affects in A Multiple Epistemic Universe

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to reflect on the reorganization of the activities that were usually developed in the presence of the Espaço do Conhecimento (Space of Knowledge) of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), when, at the beginning of 2020, the museum was closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of remote work and the adaptation of activities to the digital regime invite us to think about the implications of immaterial work (Castells, 2007), the subtle boundaries between the domestic space and the work space and the issue of fatigue (Safatle, 2015; Han, 2017; 2021; Zizek, 2020) which is imposed on humanity. We have chosen to listen to four collaborators of the Espaço do Conhecimento, attached to the museum nuclei, in a qualitative collection of testimonies, which seeks to enhance the experiences and the affects they have undergone and identified. We are going to highlight some of the challenges that arise for organizations and employees, faced with a work routine that has changed abruptly in a context of uncertainty and adaptation to multiple hardships.
