چکیده انگلیسی:
In view of the increasing coronavirus death toll around the globe, centralized governments have been put
under the spotlight to account for the deaths in the sovereign states they represent. But could it be a
problem if we simply hold governments accountable for deaths by demanding accurate and transparent
accounting of the total? Is there a better way to account for deaths in a pandemic without ignoring the
pathos of loss and undermining our capacity to act spontaneously? I engage with these questions by
looking at how the ethics/politics of death, as two sides of the same coin, affect our understanding of
accountability in the time of COVID-19. I distinguish between two types of accountability that correspond
to the two meanings of “account for”: “to explain the reason or the cause of something” and “to form part
of a total” (Cambridge Dictionary1). The second type of accountability, informed by a Deleuzian ethics of
death, is explored through an interpretative case study of accounting for the deaths in Wuhan, where the
global pandemic began. It shows that accountability is essentially a freedom-enabled endeavour to account for deaths through our repetition in mourning, which forms part of honouring the dead, the dying
and the living. This new configuration implies that a more radical form of accounting is needed in order
to appreciate the value of life and be mindful of the socio-psychological costs associated with deaths.
