摘要

新冠肺炎大流行导致许多国家采取严格措施控制病毒的传播。他们的目标是保护弱势群体和卫生保健系统免于崩溃。这篇讨论文章依靠几个国家的机会主义观察和福柯的生物权力理论来讨论政府试图通过监控大量人群来控制Covid-19，这是通过话语和统治技术的构建来实现的。文章进一步讨论了人们可以获得更好的权力，以便更有效地参与任何进一步管理Covid-19的尝试，政府应该自我评估其应对未来大流行的战略。

Responses to Covid-19 as a form of ‘biopower’

ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic caused many countries to take strict measures in order to control the spread of the virus. Their goal was to protect the vulnerable groups and the health care systems from collapsing. This discussion article relies on opportunistic observations from several countries and Foucault’s theory of biopower to discuss that governments attempted to control Covid-19 by monitoring large numbers of people, and that this was achieved through the construction of discourse and technologies of domination. The article further discusses that people could be better empowered in order to participate more effectively in any attempts to further manage Covid-19 and that governments should self-evaluate their strategy for responding to future pandemics.

期刊介绍： International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
