The article consists of a discussion of the research project in progress, “The Margins of the State in the Covid-19 Pandemic: peripheral experiences of human (in)security in Brazil". We present the work context, its epistemological framework, based on central concepts in the field of Peace Studies, and an analysis of preliminary results obtained so far. Started in August 2020, the purpose of the project is to build a diagnosis of the Brazilian peripheries’ situation during the COVID-19 pandemic, mapping peripheral experiences from the perspective of human security. For this purpose, primary data will be collected through interviews and testimonies, which will make up a public online repository of information. Through a critical approach that removes the primacy of the security concept from the scope of States, including individual and societal dimensions such as empowerment and rights and access to basic services such as education, sanitation and social protection, this project explores the security subjectivities that emerge from marginalized contexts. This research contributes to the expansion of the conceptual frameworks of human security and development, from a post-colonial perspective, which addresses local experiences in their vicissitudes. Thus, the project is thought and developed in order to contribute to the visibility of narratives and peripheral experiences, as well as proposing a co-construction of approaches and policies with the potential to fill the specifics of the crises that are emerging in marginalized contexts in Brazil due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
