    Tras el 11 de Septiembre los analistas pusieron el acento en los cambios sustanciales que atravesaron las democracias occidentales, ya sea en el campo de las relaciones internacionales como la forma de comprender al “otro”, al extranjero. Diversos estudios han analizado de forma convincente cómo la teoría precautoria minó por dentro las instituciones democráticas al punto de legalizar o normalizar la tortura. Este miedo al otro ejemplificó un nuevo tiempo que marca la muerte de la hospitalidad en las democracias occidentales. El COVID-19, lejos de resolver esta situación, ha reafirmado una lógica de exclusión acrecentando la instrumentalización del miedo por parte de la disciplina biopolítica. En este sentido, el presente ensayo se orienta a debatir las semejanzas entre el 9/11 y la pandemia de COVID-19 que ha azotado al mundo desde 2019, como así también sus consecuencias actuales.

    From the 9/11 onwards, social scientists have emphasized on the radical shifts faced by western democracies globally, at the best in the fields of international relations as well as the ways of understanding the alterity, the strangers. Many studies have certainly focused how the precautionary doctrine mined the check and balance institutions in the consolidated democracies. In this new era, hospitality, at least in the West, has gone.

    COVID-19 pandemic, far from reversing this, has reaffirmed a logic of exclusion through the instrumentalization of fear (contingency) by hands of biopolitics. In this vein, the present essay-review reverberates on the commonalities among 9/11 and COVID-19 pandemic, which has whipped the world, as well as the durable devastating effects in daily life.
