The main aim of this essay is to find useful historical-political grids in order to interpret governmental strategies and dispositives that have been activated during the CoViD-19 pandemic outbreak. From this perspective, Michel Foucault’s concept of social medicalization and René Girard’s scapegoat theory seem to be extremely fertile. As a matter of fact, both Foucault and Girard’s approaches to social phenomena and political systems could be read on an immunitarian background. I suggest here to call political epidemiology the common standpoint of these two otherwise very different authors.

Abstract
The main aim of this essay is to find useful historical-political grids in order to interpret governmental strategies and dispositives that have been activated during the CoViD-19 pandemic outbreak. From this perspective, Michel Foucault’s concept of social medicalization and René Girard’s scapegoat theory seem to be extremely fertile. As a matter of fact, both Foucault and Girard’s approaches to social phenomena and political systems could be read on an immunitarian background. I suggest here to call political epidemiology the common standpoint of these two otherwise very different authors.File in questo prodotto:
