Abstract:
The coronavirus emerged in a space where both the power that opresses and the opressed coincide in the desire to watch and be watched, by the action of social networks, which generate superfluous beings that exchange their intimacy for a like. Hence, we come to a capitalism where epidemiology precedes demography (epidemic-capitalism): the population is organized according to the ultra-individual logic of pandemic control (immunological passports, monitoring of infections). With the concept of a nomadic war machine by Deleuze et Guattari, the covid-19 is analyzed as an aesthetic landscape in which the territorialities are defined from the edges that pollute and not from the coordinates that delimit them. Therefore, it is concluded that this perfect totalitarianism, which is called al que se denomina net-(fl)asc(ix)smo, can move towards forms of dissent.
