Pandemia by Slavoj Žižek
COVID-19 Shakes the World
A brisk, polemical reflection on the global coronavirus emergency that reads the pandemic as a revealing crisis: it exposes capitalism’s fragilities and inequalities, undermines liberal individualism and neoliberal governance, and forces a reassessment of collective solutions such as robust public health systems, science-led policy, and international solidarity. The essays probe ideological reactions and caution that emergency measures can slide into lasting surveillance and authoritarianism even as they demonstrate the need for decisive state intervention, and they argue the moment could open space for systemic transformation—revaluing care work, reorganizing production and supply chains, and imagining emancipatory political alternatives.
