Resumen

CALDERON GERSTEIN, Walter. COVID-19, Ontopolitics, Necropolitics and a new philosophical and social concept in Perú and the world: Idiopolitics. Comuni@cción [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.1, pp.77-90. ISSN 2219-7168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33595/2226-1478.12.1.457.

This paper evaluates the biopolitical implications of COVID-19 pandemic in Peru and the world. It proposes that, due to the coronavirus characteristics and its effects on the populations’ health, security and economy, this disease has the ability to reveal the true biopolitical approaches adopted by each nation. The application of necropolitics as government measures to confront the coronavirus, with inequity and inefficiency, is reviewed. In the same way, the concept of ontopolitics is developed as a fundamental tool for defining reality and its components, an act that will decide the implementation of the different disease containment plans. After reviewing its historical and practical connotations, the term "idiopolitics" is proposed to denote that type of government that, in open contradiction with the main objective of politics, of seeking the common good for the citizens of the state, manages and disposes of the public resources guided by particular needs and interests.

Palabras clave : Covid-19; necropolitics; ontopolítics; biopolitics.
