"For a Critical Reading of the COVID Age. Biopower, Nosopolitic and “War-Like” Logic Supporting the Crisis"

Abstract

The critical sociologic theory, the marxian thought and even the motto of the English Royal Society "nullius in verba" invite us to "not trust anyone's words", that is to say that nothing is what it appears and we must not to believe everything that who govern tell us.

In the case, by riding the covid, we see how the current populist ultraliberist policy tries to implement new totalizing nosopolitics focused on wealth, health and body performances fully functional to self-regulation automated mechanisms of reproduction and resilience of an absurd system condamned to grow indefinetely. We can also detect how an ontogenetically unfair profit-centered system makes use of war-like strategies to impose advanced biopower forms, as well as exploiting the collateral side effects of all kinds of crises to derive commercial benefits and promote the recovery. In short, I try to approach the covid from an unconventional sociopolitical perspective, by limiting myself to delineating some relevant themes of a much broader problematic discourse, aimed to stimulate attention on underlying systemic logycs whose collateral damages risk to vaporize di liquid society and to opening dystopian scenarios, including a new era of totalitarianism.derive commercial benefits and promote the recovery. In short, I
