Description
Summary:This article investigates Inumeráveis, a digital memorial that seeks to honor the victims of Covid-19 in Brazil, in order to know how the mediations of technicity and narratives, constitutive of the project, build collective memories and experiences of mourning in relation to the pandemic.The article starts with a transdisciplinary discussion about the concepts of grief and memory, crossed by the communicational perspective and digitalization. In the methodology, we combine two perspectives: media archeology and critical narrative analysis. We present part of the excavation and expedition work to know the project's production logic, its creators, the aesthetic and symbolic aspects of digital platforms, and an interpretative synthesis of the analysis of 26 texts tributes of the memorial. As a result, we highlight how the memorial provides different manifestations of the grief work and the construction of a national and political memory about the pandemic.
