Marcello Faletra on Denialism, Fascism, and the Pandemic

In an article published on Artribune Magazine #56, Marcello Faletra draws parallels between terrorism and the pandemic, arguing that both create a hostage society. He contrasts terrorist attacks, which concentrate terror in a point and spread mediatically, with the virus, which moves in a defect of reality like the ozone layer. Faletra introduces the figure of the denialist, who lives under the illusion of freedom through disobedience and a decisionist cult. He critiques anti-virus crusades as displays of the vanity of courage traded for freedom. The article also promotes Artribune's newsletters: Incanti (weekly art market), Render (biweekly urban regeneration), and PAX (biweekly cultural tourism).
