CLAROS CHAVARRIA, Javier Andrés. The many “faces” of Covid-19. Temas Sociales [online]. 2022, n.50, pp.139-168.  Epub 01-Mayo-2022. ISSN 0040-2915.  https://doi.org/10.53287/fisc1525ho21j.

Since the press announced to the world in December 2019 the appearance of “a mysterious virus”, one of the great challenges for world organizations, public and private institutions, and the press itself, has been to represent it visually so that society can recognize it. In this paper we present a narrative timeline of the visual forms in which the Covid-19 disease (SARS-CoV-2 virus) was represented, with the objective of analyzing how the various “faces” that it acquired in different stages questioned the society that observed them.

Palabras clave : Covid-19; virus; face; image; pandemic.
