A strange tale
Authors:Luiz Alex Silva Saraiva  Adriana Vinholi Rampazo
Abstract:We are going through such challenging times that dealing with reality is sometimes easier through fiction. Therefore, we tell the tale of a faraway land where poor women — mostly black — who make a living as domestic servants are particularly impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Their abject bodies are part of a form of necropolitics that separates those who must live from those who can die. Their bodies do not matter, as they are perceived as mere working tools. And what sounds like a strange tale is the true reality of millions of women during the pandemic, in a land that is not so far away as it seems.
Keywords:abject  bodies  COVID‐19  domestic workers  necropolitics
