| Sumario: | Exhausted. Bodies are exhausted, from the scales of the individual and social body to that of the planet. Even in times of the Covid-19 pandemic – one of the most severe crises experienced globally in recent history – the demands for productivity, relentlessness and attentiveness are not diminishing. Instead, those demands intensify, while forms of extraction are pervasive.In the last year, we have seen how governments have requested citizens to radically reorganize their lives to protect them – from practicing social distancing, to working remotely, while caring for families and friends in domestic and virtual spaces. Whereas these unprecedented measures are put in place to prevent or slow down the contagion of populations, work ethos oriented towards flexibility, adaptability, and profit has, in many cases, intensified. In other words, forms of burn-out and the ongoing pressure on bodies have become even more critical. We are asked to, despite everything, keep on. |
