Abstract

A Covid-19 poster’s warning to “Do Your Part/Stay Apart” and a dance sequence from Jean-Luc Godard’s 1964 film Bande à Part are the starting points for a reflection on Jean-Luc Nancy’s recent essay, “Communovirus,” in which he argues that the threat of the coronavirus “communizes us” even as it forces us to distance ourselves from each other. This paradoxical sense of shared separation, central to Nancy’s thought, is then explored in relation to the themes of (in)equality and justice in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
