The gordian knot and ariadne's string. The shape of space in the Covid-19 crisis|Il nodo gordiano e il filo di arianna. La forma dello spazio nella crisi del Covid-19

Two antithetical versions of space seem to lie under the political management of the Covid-19 pandemic: on the one hand, the neutral and objective conception with which the Chinese lockdown has been implemented; on the other hand, the notion of space based on tracing and detecting specific relationships, exemplified by Taiwan. In Italy, a quasi-Chinese notion of space seems to have prevailed, with the noticeable exception of Veneto Region, where the system of swabs and track-and-trace on the territory was prevalent.
