If we are to adequately decipher and make sense of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ways in which large populations as well as their immune systems have responded to the virus, we ought to map the broader sociomaterial contexts in which a planetary health crisis, such as COVID-19, has been situated. Adopting a biophilosophical approach and feminist versions of Science and Technology Studies (STS), this article problematizes the virality of the war discourse and its tactical uses for the sake of biopower during COVID-19. Also, a lens is used to question the military metaphors deployed during COVID-19. is understood in this article as to make change, and to act in a way that is disruptive of allegedly oppressive power structures. seeks to expose or otherwise uncover that norms are, in fact, just limitations on a far broader set of possibilities. With the aim of exploring how critical associations can extend their response-abilities for the exploitative, authoritarian, and racist forces of biopower, the article examines the skilled practices and intra-actions of a feminist collective, . Acknowledging the social relevance of a core community for acquiring immunity and its role for the future, a feminist conception of the virus played a key role in all kinds of anthropocentric and essentialist views by biohacking, DIY (Do It Yourself) and DIWO (Do It With Others) techniques in the actions and coproductions of . Of note, the war metaphor operated as a tactic for camouflaging and obfuscating the facts in the course of the pandemic. The findings reveal that , which is a self-reflexive collective knowledge production in artistic and hacktivist research, emerges as a way in which political ontological potentials can be critically activated within communities of action. The feminist lenses on COVID-19, and the paratactical commoning presented in this article, are of broad interest to systems scientists to explore the ways in which biopower, and the previously unchecked war discourse and militaristic metaphors coproduce COVID-19 acquired immunity and the social injustices. Understanding not only the biology but also the biopolitics of acquired immunity to the control of COVID-19 is, therefore, crucial for systems medicine and planetary (health) care that is at once effective, resilient, foreseeable, and just.
如果我们要充分理解 COVID-19 大流行以及大量人群及其免疫系统对该病毒的反应方式，我们就应该绘制更广泛的社会物质背景图谱，在这个背景下，出现了像 COVID-19 这样的行星健康危机。本文采用生物哲学方法和女性主义版本的科学技术研究（STS），将新冠疫情期间的战争话语及其生物权力的战术用途进行了病毒学分析。此外，还使用了一个视角来质疑 COVID-19 期间使用的军事隐喻。在本文中，“政治本体论”被理解为进行变革，并以一种破坏据称具有压迫性的权力结构的方式采取行动。“政治本体论”试图揭示或揭露规范实际上只是对更广泛的可能性的限制。本文旨在探讨批判联系如何扩展其对生物权力的剥削性、专制性和种族主义力量的反应能力，为此，文章审视了女性主义集体 的熟练实践和相互作用。鉴于核心社区获得免疫力的社会相关性及其对未来的作用，本文还探讨了女性主义对病毒的概念，该概念在生物黑客、DIY（自己动手）和 DIWO（与他人一起做）技术的各种人类中心主义和本质主义观点中发挥了关键作用，这些观点在 的行动和共同创作中发挥了作用。值得注意的是，战争隐喻在大流行期间是一种掩盖和混淆事实的策略。研究结果表明，艺术和黑客研究中的自我反思性集体知识生产“政治本体论”，是在行动共同体中批判性地激活政治本体论潜力的一种方式。本文对 COVID-19 的女性主义视角以及所呈现的准并列共同体，引起了系统科学家的广泛兴趣，使他们能够探索生物权力以及以前不受控制的战争话语和军国主义隐喻如何共同产生 COVID-19 获得免疫力和社会不公正。因此，理解 COVID-19 控制下获得免疫力的生物学和生物政治学不仅对系统医学和有效的、有弹性的、可预测的和公正的行星（健康）护理至关重要。
