Abstract

Abstract The present contribution looks at possible performative practices during the time of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, which stigmatizes both physical bodies and the social body, with the greatest threat to the physical body represented by the violent interventions of the state into medical matters. Apart from its real dimensions, the pandemic also possesses a strong symbolic note. In its discussion of the ‘phenomenology of Covid prevention in the performative context’, the article touches upon the use of protective masks, minimum distance between audience members, testing and vaccination as intrusions into the spectator’s body, the participatory potential of performative events during the time of pandemic and limitation brought about by their online (Zoom) performances.
