This article explores the question of what systemic relevance means in times of the pandemic and to what extent "systemic relevance" could become a component of the socio-political semantics of the 21st century. To answer this question, empirical, theoretical, and thought-experimental considerations are being combined. The first part understands systemic relevance as an actor category and examines the term's career and shifting meanings in different discursive contexts. The second part understands systemic relevance as an analytical category and discusses three theoretical perspectives that accompany the establishment of quasi-sociological observational schemes in everyday life and politics. Finally, the third part is devoted to the conceptual challenges for sociology during and after the pandemic. Starting from a conceptual gap in the discourse of systemic relevance, it is argued that we cannot talk meaningfully about systemic relevance without at the same time considering the expected or planned duration with which certain institutions are being closed down or put into minimal operation in critical situations.
本文探讨了在疫情期间“系统相关性”意味着什么，以及“系统相关性”在何种程度上可能成为21世纪社会政治语义学的一个组成部分这一问题。为回答这个问题，我们将实证、理论和思想实验方面的考量结合起来。第一部分将系统相关性理解为一种行为者类别，并考察该术语在不同话语语境中的演变历程和含义变化。第二部分将系统相关性理解为一种分析类别，并讨论伴随日常生活和政治中准社会学观察方案确立的三种理论视角。最后，第三部分致力于探讨疫情期间及之后社会学所面临的概念挑战。从系统相关性话语中的一个概念空白出发，本文认为，如果不同时考虑某些机构在危机情况下被关闭或维持最低限度运转的预期或计划时长，我们就无法有意义地谈论系统相关性。
