Hypersubjectivity in the Time of COVID-19

Part 2 of Hyperreal Psychotechnologies — “After all, language, so-called “natural language,” is a technology — a tool for shaping perception, limiting and defining worldviews by its structures, its registers and tropes, every bit as much as the metaphor it licenses.
