Abstract

The essay presents an ongoing research that have being developed since Covid-19 pandemic period, through listening to artists aged 80 and above. The hypothesis explored here is that the Covid-19 pandemic may represent a rupture in our historical chronotope, with reference to Reinhart Koselleck’s notions of time of experience and horizon of expectation. The experience of the pandemic has confronted us with the urgency of death, an experience that meets the experience of aging. Therefore, listening to those who have witnessed some of the major transformations of the last century may confront us with an important level of comprehension of the crisis that pandemic period represented to our times.
