La pandemia de Covid-19 nos pone en cuestionamiento todo aquel saber hacer que sostuvimos hasta el momento. Sin embargo, hay algo que no puede mencionarse: un sujeto que controlaba, a través de mecanismos ficcionales a un sujeto vigilado y encerrado por un virus, hasta el momento indómito, ignorado, indomeñable. El encierro tal como lo señala el Diccionario de Lengua Española es la reclusión de una persona en un lugar, que puede ser voluntaria o involuntaria, considerado como acto de apartamiento o de retiro. Hoy ese escenario “normal “se ha transformado y nos ha hecho “transformarnos”, sin decisión ni previsión previa, solo con el temor de que “algo malo está sucediendo” y aquello que deviene, solo el tiempo dispondrá en que se transforma ese devenir. Palabras clave Pandemia Covid 19 - Sujeto - Control ABSTRACT FROM THE CONTROLLING PANOPTICON TO THE CONTROL OF THE PANDEMIC: SUBJECT SUBJECT OR SUBJECT IN EXTINCTION? The Covid-19 pandemic calls into question all that know-how that we have sustained so far. However, there is something that cannot be mentioned: a subject who controlled, through fictional mechanisms, a subject guarded and enclosed by a virus, hitherto untamed, ignored, and indomitable. The confinement as indicated in the Spanish Language Dictionary is the confinement of a person in a place, which can be voluntary or involuntary, considered as an act of withdrawal or withdrawal. Today, this “normal” scenario has been transformed and has made us “transform”, without prior decision or forecast, only with the fear that “something bad is happening” and what is becoming, only time will provide for that transformation to take place.
