摘要

摘要：本文关注病毒性的不同迭代，以探索死亡的种族逻辑和我们这个时代在冠状病毒大流行期间的危机。通过研究对冠状病毒的战争、对伊朗的制裁以及美国白人至上主义的兴起，本文认为，对病毒和病毒性的乐观分析是基于对人类的抽象，从而忽视了种族和地缘政治。

Against Abstractions: On Geopolitics, Humanness, Virus, and Death

Abstract:This article focuses on different iterations of virality to explore the racial logic of death and the crisis of our time during the coronavirus pandemic. By examining the war on the coronavirus, the sanctions on Iran, and the rise of white supremacy in the United States, this article argues that the optimistic analyses of virus and virality are predicated upon the abstraction of the human, thus overlooking race and geopolitics.
