Size: Paperback
Renowned Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben presents his fierce, passionate, and deeply personal commentaries regarding the 2020 health emergency as it played out in Italy and across the world.
Alongside and beyond accusations, these texts reflect upon the great transformation affecting Western democracies. In the name of biosecurity and health, the model of bourgeois democracy—together with its rights, institutions, and constitutions—is surrendering everywhere to a new despotism where citizens accept unprecedented limitations to their freedoms.
The push to accept this new normal leads to the urgency of the volume’s title:
Where Are We Now?
For how long will we accept living in a constantly extended state of exception, the end of which remains impossible to see?
