Abstract

This article reads the technological management of complex and global events, including SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, as part of the transition of European democracies towards control and surveillance models imposed by normal emergencies following one another with increasing frequency. The text reflects on pandemics along history, on the technocratic and digital trajectory of contemporary societies, and concludes by outlining local-based forms of self-government.
