Abstract

In this article, through ethnographies and sociological biography carried out with Jiboia – a member of the Brazilian popular classes –, we present that, in the face of the pandemic context, the use of masks, social isolation, vaccination and hygiene, are not only supported by the objective conditions of life, but also by the subjective conditions of existence when these are associated with existential inequality. The latter, in turn, is established in the unequal allocation of respect, dignity and appreciation of life itself.
