The Language of Pandemic
Eduardo Mendieta, Philosophy
The writer William Burroughs
famously wrote that “language is a virus.” This lecture wil
l analyze the language we are using to talk about the pandemic. This lan
guage conceals and reveals how we are dealing with its causes and effect
s. Euphemisms, malapropisms, direct negation, double negatives, and the
absence of certain key words, reveal to us indeed how language behaves v
irally, and thus, how we have to inoculate ourselves to some of its viru
lent aspects.
