ABSTRACT
The main objective of this text was to observe how the Jornal Nacional’s narratives about the COVID-19 pandemic are organized within a chronotope of catastrophic intimacy, through which the personal narrative takes place, above all, in spaces that reveal intimacy, overflowing the private to the public, blurring the boundaries between home and work and intertwining body and space in an experience of temporal suspension. It was concluded, through the narratives analyzed, that the COVID-19 pandemic, by the narrative of the newscast, installed a suspended or interrupted time, though very significant for contemporary history.
