N2 - This introductory editorial to the special issue on Erich Fromm presents his humanistic psychoanalysis and critical social theory, argues for his contemporary relevance, and outlines the issue’s aims, themes, and contributions. We show how Fromm links the psyche and the social, explaining how social structures shape psychological needs and how these needs, in turn, act back on society. We also state the normative core of his approach: a humanist account of shared relatedness and human capacities, while treating sociopsychological dynamics as historically mediated. Finally, we preview the articles in the following issue, which span leadership and organizations, digital communication and online outrage, ideological conflict and populism, debates over (anti-/post-/trans-)humanism, and case studies of cooperative and solidarity practices.

[Online ISSN 1980-5462] [periodicos.unb.br/index.php/sociedade/article/view/34284/28222] N2 - The Covid-19 pandemic has been transforming economic, political and social realities into a so-called >new normalcy<. Learning to cope with this contingency requires (re)construction of people’s identity. In this study, we critically analyze the narratives of change and the consumption practices of Brazilians interviewed during the period of social distancing. We follow a critical social-psychological approach based on the works of Fromm, Rosa and Kühn. Our results show that the pandemic encourages people to reflect responsibly on their consumption, but also highlight how consumption contributes to the reproduction of social inequality, leading to polarizations within society. N2 - A pandemia do Covid-19 vem transformando realidades econômicas, políticas e sociais, numa chamada >nova normalidade<. Aprender a lidar com essa contingência requer (re)construção de identidade das pessoas. Neste estudo, analisamos criticamente as narrativas de mudança e as práticas de consumo de brasileiros entrevistados no período de distanciamento social. Para isso, utilizamos lentes teóricas de Fromm, Rosa e Kühn. Nossos resultados evidenciam que a pandemia estimula as pessoas a refletirem com responsabilidade sobre seu consumo, mas também destacam como o consumo contribui para a reprodução da desigualdade social, levando a polarizações dentro da sociedade.
