In this essay, I describe two logics of space that are operative in responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine partitioning is unavoidable and widespread. As a mode of governing, it presents a logic of space understood through its divisibility, making this logic seem like a given. Using the topological concept of a sphere eversion, I describe an alternative way of understanding spaces of quarantine as surroundings that we are exposed to or in contact with. I locate this alternative logic of space within already existing practices and concerns around public spaces newly invested with the possibility of exposure to and exposing others.

彻底隔离检疫
在本文中,我描述了两种空间逻辑,它们可对COVID-19大流行做出反应。隔离分区是不可避免和广泛的。作为一种治理模式,它提出了通过其可分性理解的空间逻辑,从而使该逻辑看起来像是给定的。我使用球体外移的拓扑概念,描述了一种将隔离空间理解为我们所接触或接触的环境的替代方法。我将这种替代的空间逻辑定位在现有的实践中,并关注新投资的公共空间中可能与他人接触和暴露的可能性。
