For one who is alone in a country where he or she has newly arrived, a quarantine is nothing but an incarceration that can barely be tolerated without having moments of mental breakdown. Although, this imposed isolation has the prospect of redemption at its end, the infinite scope of time during which that current situation will last is indeed problematic. Being in quarantine is a distinct experience where space-time duality loses its genuine meaning. Quarantine, by its very nature, is the spatialization of uncertainty in different ways, from uncertainty of being infected, of being healthy by segregating, of being in the safe zone, and of being isolated for an infinite time. Besides all these uncertainties, awareness of impossibility of keeping place of isolation pure from the ubiquitous microorganism causes this imposed seclusion to be seemed in vain. Hence, instead of panicking futilely, reflecting upon the new awareness that has emerged out of crisis will be an emancipatory path.

隔离:抽象与具体之间的矛盾空间实践

对于一个刚来到他或她一个国家的人来说,隔离只不过是一种监禁,几乎没有精神崩溃就可以容忍。尽管这种强加的隔离最终将有赎回的希望,但这种现状持续的无限时间范围确实是有问题的。隔离是一种独特的体验,时空对偶性失去了其真正的意义。从本质上说,隔离是通过各种方式对不确定性进行空间化,从不确定性的感染,通过隔离确保健康,处于安全区域以及无限地隔离。除了所有这些不确定因素,意识到不可能从普遍存在的微生物中保持纯净分离的意识,导致这种强加的隔离似乎是徒劳的。因此,反思从危机中浮现出来的新认识,而不是徒劳地惊慌,将是一条解放的道路。
