Abstract

This article aims to start an analysis of how the Covid-19 virus presents itself spatially in the city of São Paulo, and how this spatialization reflects a necropolitic in the peripheral districts of the city, seeking to understand how the “death politic” operate in this pandemic scenario through the absence of preventive conditions, neglect in the care of the peripheries and circulation of misinformation, which ends up showing a great social disparity that is contrasting and noticeable, that will separate and value or devalue the bodies. The pandemic is characterized as a potentializer of socio-spatial inequalities expressed in the city of São Paulo.

Keywords: Necropolitics, pandemic, Covid-19, periphery, inequality.
