Feiras em tempos de pandemia: reflexões a partir de comida e risco

Abstract

This text arises from concerns that became from research in development, discussed in the "Comida para Pensar" Research Group, and crossed by the pandemic context. The theme of risk, permeating food studies, is one of the axes of discussion in the group, so we present here a link between research carried out at food fairs, supported by the relationship between food and risk, and intensified by the Covid-19's pandemia. Through the observation of publications on the social networks of the surveyed fairs, we identified elements that allow us to think about how fairs occur in a pandemic period. With images from the publications, we point out the elements of the legal sphere, such as decrees and regulations, also physical objects such as masks, alcohol gel, distance markers, and the creative elements that allow the safe commercialization of food, because such elements became part of the daily lives of producers and consumers.
