Deconstructing COVID Time

Claire Colebrook

English

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This essay explores the problem of trust and truth in states of emergency. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s theory of biopolitics and his objections to political managerialism I argue that the real problem exposed by the pandemic was not a lack of trust in authority but an unscientific and uncritical attachment to expertise.
