“…A second case could be to rethink food and sustainability. In the pandemic, a sustainable diet and cruciform ethicssacrificing affluence for the planetcan be crucial (Kahambing, 2021e). However, this decisive move is not a universal duty but must be context-specific.…”

The increasing imagination of crisis within the contemporary scene is set within the state of emergency that is the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this background, there is the problem of redefining the conditions of normality. The paper aims to take some insights about how to think through this predicament from Arundhati Roy and Slavoj Žižek who are, the authors deemed, subversives against the normal regulatory course of thought. To do this, the study applies the method of textual hermeneutics on both thinker’s oeuvre, particularly those that relate to the pandemic and specifically Roy’s AZADI and Žižek’s Pa(ndem)ic! 1 and 2, and contextualizes their energetic radical visions to one of the co-authors’ compiled takes on various cases during COVID-19. In this paper’s reading, which attempts to succinctly open a leeway for such takes by aligning the implications with both thinkers’ views for thinking forward and enacting possibilities, Roy’s resolve through love and Žižek’s notion of a forced choice can be reflected on in traversing the inevitable portal of the ‘New Normal.’

“…Fitness and overall healthy living during the pandemic when done consistently can be vanishing mediators that get subsumed in a post-pandemic structure. This means not just a sustainable diet 16 but also increased physical activity like running and exercise.…”

Public health interventions during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic aim to ensure that the lessons learned of the crises can prevent historical recurrences. Such interventions can mean vanishing mediators that must cater to a post-pandemic structure. Learning from large-scale political and scientific histories or advances—emancipatory projects, pandemic histories and vaccine developments—as well as individual agencies—physical activity and exercise—at the moment become crucial in rethinking and enacting utopian possibilities.
