Post-pandemic. Ghosts and science fiction

In this article we propose to think about the post-pandemic, giving priority to the point of view of science fiction. Here we follow the logic that Silvia Schwarzböck chose to think about the “return of Democracy” in Argentina. Post-dictatorship, says Schwarzböck, is the continuation of dictatorship...

Here we follow the logic that Silvia Schwarzböck chose to think about the “return of Democracy” in Argentina. Post-dictatorship, says Schwarzböck, is the continuation of dictatorship by other means: those of false life as the only horizon, and since aesthetics is the discipline that thinks rigorously in terms of untruth, it is this discipline that enables the possibility to think about what is unthinkable for philosophy. We resort to the post- as the sign of the untruth (fiction), whose horizon of possible action constructs scenarios according to the rules of fiction. Between the dire future of the apocalypses already happened and the ends of the world that do not end, the syntagm "post-pandemic" speaks of the returning time that returns us to the stasis of a dense present. It also speaks of the need to fictionalize the pandemic (or its minion, the virus) according to the rules of a speculative fable. An aesthetics and a politics. En este artículo proponemos pensar en la pospandemia privilegiando el punto de vista de la ciencia ficción. Seguimos aquí la lógica que Silvia Schwarzböck eligió para pensar el “regreso de la democracia” en Argentina. La posdictadura, señala Schwarzböck, es la continuación de la dictadura por otros medios: los de la vida falsa como único horizonte, y dado que la estética es la disciplina que piensa rigurosamente en términos de no verdad, es esta disciplina la que habilita una posibilidad para pensar lo que desde la filosofía parece impensable. Recurrimos entonces al post- como divisa de la no verdad (la ficción), cuyo horizonte de acción posible construye escenarios con las reglas de la ficción. Entre el porvenir funesto de los apocalipsis ya sucedidos, y los fines del mundo que no terminan, el sintagma “pospandemia” habla del tiempo retornante que nos devuelve a la estasis de un presente denso. Habla también de la necesidad de ficcionar la pandemia (o su secuaz, el virus) bajo las reglas de una fábula especulativa.
