Abstract

The proposal of this text is part of a vast research on the uses of digital social networks within daily life. At this stage, our research focuses on the relationship between "the media and the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic", particularly in digital social networks and the uses of emotions, especially among young people. Our reflection problematizes how young people have used social networks as a space for catharsis - emotional purgation - in a circuit of affects, particularly in the stories of death and suicide during the Covid-19 pandemic and the traumas revealed by the narrative production in these spaces. © 2022 De Boeck Superieur.
