“…Lusardi and Tomelleri have called the pandemic a cultural break point-a watershed between the relatively unreflective social configuration that was in place earlier and the one to come-with the consciousness that complexity of knowledge and global interdependency require collective awareness, political participation and shared responsibility. 1…”

“…The Covid-19 pandemic is global in terms of its spread, restrictions on personal freedoms and economic crises. 1 However, striking differences have been observed in mortality, rates of transmission, policies, and beliefs and behavioural responses, in relation to Covid-19 in different societies and groups. The interplay between a cultural context and the experience and behaviours related to Covid-19 are thus germane to its understanding as it is a disease spread by social contact and managed at least in part through social interventions.…”

“…In this sense, the lack of commitment on the part of the institutions to guaranteed housing seems to legitimize the misrecognition of the homeless population, who personally pay the price for the contradictions of contemporary post-capitalist society (Bauman, 2003;Magatti, 2012). The adoption of neoliberal policies, which still characterizes most western countries (Stiglitz, 2019), means that social insecurity and market mechanisms pervade all spheres of life, including those of protection and fundamental rights, which were seriously endangered during the COVID-19 syndemic (Lusardi and Tomelleri, 2021).…”

“…Living conditions characterized by prolonged precariousness (Consoli, 2019), anxiety and uncertainty seem to be gradually becoming widespread (Magatti, 2012). Today's threats seem to be derived from the same social fabric (Giddens, 1991) and from a technocratic approach to social planning (Lusardi and Tomelleri, 2021).…”

This paper analyses the amplification of social insecurity and the social misrecognition of the homeless during the COVID-19 syndemic. The research was carried out in the city of Bergamo (IT), which has been severely affected by the COVID-19 syndemic since the early months of 2020; the research was developed in two phases. The first one analyses the practices of social resilience activated during the COVID-19 syndemic by the socio-educational staff and the coordination figures who work in the support services. The second phase analyses the different social dynamics that can improve the wellbeing and social reintegration of the homeless from a long-duration perspective. During the first months of 2020, the public authorities failed to pay attention to homeless people who slept on the streets and who lived in communities or found support in night shelters. The support services had to activate immediate emergency response strategies and subsequently had to produce and purchase protective devices for operators, guests and those who remained on the street. Faced with this process of social misrecognition, the support services for homeless people reacted by activating practices of social resilience. These practices have investigated the dimensions of daily interactions and the symbolic and value configurations connected to them. However, directly conversing with the homeless, it emerges that to achieve full social reintegration and to prevent new forms of social misrecognition, in the event of future social or health crises, the relationship with a non-stigmatized social community is fundamental. Consequently, the primary objectives that the support network for homeless people should set for future projects should involve the local community through project participation activities and raise awareness of the phenomenon of poverty.

“…The social planification crisis calls for the need to reflect on the current situation created by the pandemic. It is required to understand socio-cultural, economic and technological processes and to attempt to imagine scenarios for the future (Lusardi & Tomelleri, 2020). COVID-19 constructed the status of members of society in which new inequalities can emerge.…”

COVID-19 has paralysed many countries' social and economic lives. COVID-19 has pushed the world towards drastic social distancing and sterilisation measures to limit the spread and impact of the infection. However, it remains unclear what the longterm physical, psychological, socio-economic, and political decisions will be and their consequences. Scientists today have a great responsibility to study this period. Therefore, expert data contributes to the individual and collective development of citizens. The analytical method used in this study involved a theoretical analysis of publications on social and human sciences from the Scopus database, mainly focusing on the year 2020, to develop a framework for understanding the societal repercussions of the pandemic. The study defines a wide range of social consequences and effects of COVID-19, shows the impact pandemic on education in the context of social policy, establishes the socio-political and economic consequences of COVID-19, and substantiates psychological reactions to COVID-19. A review of the literature can help determine the impact of COVID-19 on social policy. Based on the analysis of the papers, it can be concluded that COVID-19 has increased inequality, widened the gap between the rich and the poor, and threatened the stability of society in low-income countries.
