چکیده
By engaging with Giorgio Agamben’s article on the Italian government’s measures during first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, we argue that points to limits classical biopolitical and thanatopolitical logics analysis therefore requires a new conceptual framework. The outbreak is an example zoonotic globalisation in which human species as biological geological actor merely one among many other influence processes Earth, thus challenging humanist conceptualisations politics. Here, role politics decentralised by thinking virus actors exert how political sphere governed.

Rather than providing finite answers about non-human sphere, raise questions why it should matter.
