This book considers how, during the unprecedented global lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the normal order of everyday life, of the rule of law, of power itself was interrupted, and hence the nomos of this earth was suspended. Employing the term ‘herd immunity’ from vaccination science and global lockdown policy as a guiding theme, the book considers two central aspects of the pandemic. These are the function of herding and collecting as a definition of ontology after Alain Badiou, and the concept of immunity as a suspension of oppositional differences in the work of Roberto Esposito. It then considers how herd immunity not only disrupts the nomos but also suspends its significance as a guiding principle of state-sanctioned legal norms—and perhaps permanently. Providing critical readings of masking, social distancing, compliance, vulnerability, bubbles, immunity, breathing, anti-vaxxers, nudge theory, cocooning, lockdown, patient zero, and the many other terms that became commonplace between 2020 and 2022, the book traces a suspension of legal and social norms, a manipulation of our compliance using false science, and a reconfiguring of the social nomos, in light of the threats of the virus. In a highly original mix of contemporary and post-war continental philosophy, biopolitical theory, set theoretical mathematics, extensional logic, and the most up-to-date science in the area, it argues that lockdown was not some global, biopolitical power grab, but actually a weakening of power, of nomos. This book will appeal to scholars and others in a range of disciplinary areas with interests in the legacy of Covid; but especially those working in the areas of continental philosophy, contemporary legal theory, and biopolitics.
