Metodología: El trabajo presenta una perspectiva comparada entre Estados Unidos y España. Específicamente, se examinan los 90 primeros días del 2020 (del 1 de enero al 31 de marzo), en la fase inicial -orientada a la preparación y la prevención- y de explosion de la crisis.
Este estudio analiza cómo la comunicación política 2.0 ha contribuido a prevenir y proteger a los ciudadanos durante las primeras etapas de la crisis.
Introducción: El 31 de diciembre de 2019 la OMS reportó el primer caso de una nueva infección respiratoria en Wuhan, marcando el inicio de la emergencia sanitaria del COVID-19. Altogether, the volume demonstrates that the humanities, far from being artificially detached from the enormously complex context which is contemporary Europe, can actually study it and crucially point the way to a better, more equitable world.
These studies essentially address three broad topics, which function as this volume’s structural axes: identity, gender, and space and mobility (both voluntary, as in tourism, or imposed, as in the case of migrations and persecutions). Guided by such principles, this chapter introduces the fourteen remaining chapters in this volume, all of which showcase interdisciplinary studies that explore exciting intersections between different areas of academic research. It is therefore imperative that the humanities should once and for all prove themselves relevant, leaving behind ‘departmentalized’ approaches to academic knowledge, and embracing the social mission that once epitomized humanistic study. While the authors comment on the dangers that this approach entails, they also argue that the humanities themselves are partly to blame for this crisis, having largely isolated themselves from an increasingly changing society. Arts and humanities suffer from a lack of prestige which is easily relatable to the ‘utilitarianism’ that has become the driving force in the so-called developed world.
