Abstract
Abstract Drawing on twenty-five years of ethnographic observation and reflection on humanitarian interventions’ power practices and on theoretical inspirations from Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Gilles Deleuze, Max Weber and Ernesto de Martino, we show that, in the current health crisis, new modes of truth, power and subjectivity have emerged in a space between ‘too late’ liberalism (i.e. the final moment of liberalism in which it reveals the inherent impossibility of its promise of prosperity and freedom for all) and ‘too soon’ authoritarianism (i.e. a self-imposed subordination to incontestable biosecurity imperatives). Self-sacrifice, self-imposed subalternity and hopeful, docile acceptance, or alternatively blind rage, in the face of the ‘inevitable’ characterise homo pandemicus, the ultimate liberal subject. Developed on sites of humanitarian intervention, the logic of ‘permanent emergency’ is the regulatory dispositive that perpetuates therapeutic domination on a planetary scale. En s'appuyant sur vingt-cinq ans d'observation ethnographique et de réflexion sur les pratiques de pouvoir des interventions humanitaires, et inspirés des théories de Foucault, Agamben, Deleuze, Weber et De Martino, nous montrons que, dans la crise sanitaire actuelle, de nouveaux modes de vérité, de pouvoir et de subjectivité ont émergé dans un espace entre le libéralisme “trop tard” (c'est-à-dire le moment final du libéralisme dans lequel il révèle l'impossibilité inhérente de sa promesse de prospérité et de liberté pour tous) et l'autoritarisme “trop tôt” (c'est-à-dire la subordination auto-infligée à des impératifs incontestables de biosécurité). L'abnégation, la subalternité auto-imposée, la docilité naïvement optimiste ou encore la rage aveugle face, face à “l'inévitable” caractérisent l'Homo Pandémicus, le sujet libéral par excellence. Développée sur les sites d'intervention humanitaire, la logique de “l'urgence permanente” est le dispositif régulateur qui perpétue la domination thérapeutique à l’échelle planétaire.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
