Originally published in the European Journal of Psychoanalysis
(EJP), the essays in this volume are a set of responses to the
coronavirus crisis by distinguished philosophers and psychoanalysts
from around the globe. The coronavirus irrupted making swift and
deep cuts in the fabric of our existence: the risks of contagion
and indefinite periods of isolation have radically altered the
functioning of society. Pandemics do not wait for comprehension in
order to proliferate. Confusion, sickness, and death punctuate the
failure of governments worldwide to respond. This collection of
writings examines the effects of the pandemic and the conditions
that make possible such a global crisis. The writers provoke us to
consider how capitalism, governmental power, and biopolitics mold
the contours of life and death. The contributors in this collection
ignite urgent political dialogue, address emergent transformations
in the social field and offer perspectives on shifts in
subjectivity and psychoanalytic practice. Beyond providing
reflections on the impact of the coronavirus, the authors point to
determinants of how the crisis will unfold and what may be on the
horizon. This book will be invaluable to psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, philosophers, and to all those interested in the
implications of the virus for psychoanalytic practice and theory,
and the social, cultural and political spheres of our world.
