HERRERA GALEANO, Ana María  and  RICO MALACARA, Alan Yosafat. The Social Construction of Risk. Analytical Keys to Understanding the Covid-19 Pandemic in Mexico: The case of Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.242, pp.215-249.  Epub Oct 25, 2021. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2021.242.79325.

The aim of this particle is to present analytical sociological keys of risk assessment in order to attempt to understand the phenomenon of the Covid-19 pandemic in Mexico. This is achieved through the various forms of assumption, appropriation and signification of the pandemic by the visibilization of the multidimensional nature of the social construction of risk. Its theoretical section outlines the postulates of both classic and contemporary risk sociology. Its analytical section establishes theoretical models using concepts such as “tools” for approaching the Covid-19 pandemic. Its final section intends to analyze the Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia in Mexico, which displayed different forms of risk construction. This evinces specific analytical categorizations and temporalities that will account for the complexity of risk configuration in the pandemic in Mexico.

Keywords : pandemic; Covid-19; risk; regulation; risk-taking; Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia.
