ABSTRACT
This essay departs from shared experience while conducting anthropological fieldwork during the Covid-19 pandemic in Lisbon with Luso-African “migrant” communities as part of a collaborative research project on the urban night. The prose purposefully moves in between theoretical reflections and ethnographic fiction. Images are inserted as connotative markers rather than denotative information. In particular, I draw attention to the dusk as an atmosphere that significantly frames human interaction through a recalibration of the senses.
