Infection Is One Thing, Mortality Another: The Olympic Movement In Extremis
Abstract
At this writing (September, 2020), the Olympic Games hang suspended within an unprecedented double liminality. The first is created by the pandemic itself, objectively universal and subjectively global; the second is specific to the now aptly christened Tokyo 2020ne, the new name for the Tokyo Games originally scheduled for July 2020 and now slated for July 2021 . . . maybe, perhaps, sort of.
