Dando sentido a los desafíos de la covid. Relatos de vida ordinaria en YouTube

Abstract

The spread of Covid-19 in the early 2020s changed habits and transformed human relationships. Technology made it possible for human beings to continue to connect with each other through digital platforms, despite the mandatory preventative lockdown. While the news was full of alerts about the daily case-count and deaths around the world, stories of mostly ordinary people circulated through social networks, mitigating the uncertainty with messages of hope. Through a selection of YouTube videos, the article seeks to describe how people made sense of adversity.
