| Sumario: | This article discusses the origins of a special issue of Deleuze and Guattari Studies, which was prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting social isolation. The author, Étienne Balibar, reflects on the deepening social inequalities during the pandemic and the impact on social cohesion. Balibar identifies two simultaneous processes: the passive synthesis of the human species due to the viral contagion and the anthropological fracture that creates divisions within society. The article also explores the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, highlighting the role of colonization in these conflicts. The special issue includes various perspectives on social ontology, including discussions on war, revolution, technical development, and the representation of sociality in cinema.
