Abstract

In this article, informed by Narrative Analysis as a lens for discursive analysis, we outline a small part of the discursive landscape of the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, we analyze everyday stories told by working women, questioning how they were able (or not) to respond to the call for social isolation, and the meanings they generated about their experiences in this context. The data analyzed were generated from open qualitative interviews conducted with three women, intersected by different discourses and intersections. The results show the different meanings and orders of indexicality mobilized and the emergence of a coherence system informed by neoliberal discourse.
