Resumen:
The COVID-19 pandemic that disrupts thousands of everyday lives around
the world has become a paradigm for understanding the ways in which the
world-system is articulated, by virtue of its capacity to plunge it into
a deep crisis. This article highlights the relevance of reflecting,
through negative geopolitics, on the implications of the dispersion of
coronavirus. This proposal is articulated in six main axes: The
production of space, the cross-scale power relations, the processes of
domination and violence, the concretion of the world-system, the
analysis of geostrategic spaces and the recognition of negative spaces.
We consider that this methodological approach allows both clarity to the
process to the crisis and significant horizons of transformation.
