Resumo

O paradigma de governo, enunciado por Giorgio Agamben, é explorado por meio dos três conceitos chave de iatrogênese, gestão de risco e biossegurança. O primeiro fora explorado por Ivan Illich e expõe a contraprodutividade do empreendimento médico. O segundo emerge quando as instituições modernas perdem suas identidades para tornarem-se um sistema social integrado que redefine as identidades das pessoas. Sob a alegação de promover autonomia e decisões informadas, as esferas de expertise se extendem a todos aspectos da vida. Finalmente, a biossegurança é um novo ápice no qual em vez de ter direito à saúde, as pessoas se tornam obrigadas a estarem saudáveis. Cada aspecto da vida se torna mediado por tecnologias de vigilância. O resultado é que apenas a vida nua (zoè) é salvaguardada, e para escapar disso seria necessário escapar da pobreza modernizada. A pandemia poderia criar espaço para a discussão pública sobre as consequências deletérias do industrialismo.
