| description | In this paper we approach the COVID-19 pandemic through the genealogical
analysis of biopolitics. We recognize two key discontinuities in the
genealogy of biopolitics. First, we have the transformation of the ?old
biological regime? and the emergence of the gaze as a technology of
power/knowledge. This was essentially the epoch of the birth of biopolitics,
and the period when life ?entered? the sphere of politics. We then note the
emergent discontinuity in biopolitical technologies today, during the
pandemic of COVID-19, as we are witness to the transformations of
biopolitical measures on the global scale. We also recognize important
lessons from the genealogy of biopolitics as a ?history of the present?.
During just one historical epoch, biopolitics emerged as the power over
life. That was the period of the so called ?epistemic break? and the
emergence of life as the new dynamic force of productivity, power, trade,
cities, urbanization, population, and capitalism. This is how the risk that
was once the base of ?life function? instability became the central problem
of biopolitics. It is the same concern of biopolitics today, but in
completely novel social settings. |
