The government’s political communication, amid the disruption of normal life, facilitated the homogenization of a new reality while simultaneously serving to legitimize the management of the epidemic. In this paper I address the question of political rationality in government policies during the Covid-19 epidemic through an analysis of press conferences, the official communication channel of the government during this period. We approach the rethinking of the political response to the health crisis by examining how the emergence of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus and the covid-19 epidemic were problematized, or rather, the way in which this phenomenon was framed as a socio-political problem. In this context, we are interested in the effects that this problematization had on both society and the individual. In interpreting the government’s reasoning behind the measures, we draw on the concept of political rationality, which both enabled and simultaneously legitimized the government’s conductV času epidemije covid-19 je vlada Republike Slovenije z namero po zaščiti javnega zdravja in življenja ljudi uvajala ukrepe, ki so posegali v ustavno zaščitene demokratične pravice do svobode izražanja mnenja ter mirnega zbiranja ljudi. Politična komunikacija vlade je v stanju sesutja dotedanjega normalnega življenja omogočila homogenizacijo nove realnosti, obenem pa je nastopala v funkciji legitimacije načina upravljanja epidemije. V pričujočem prispevku naslavljam vprašanje politične racionalnosti vladnih politik v času epidemije covid-19 prek analize novinarskih konferenc, ki so bile v omenjenem obdobju uradni komunikacijski kanal vlade. V premišljanje političnega odgovora na zdravstveno krizo vstopamo skozi vprašanje problematizacije pojava novega virusa SARS-CoV-2 in epidemije bolezni covid-19, oziroma načina, na katerega je bil pojav formuliran kot družbenopolitični problem, pri čemer nas zanimajo učinki, ki jih je ta problematizacija imela na družbo in posameznika. Pri interpretaciji vladne argumentacije ukrepov se opremo na koncept politične racionalnosti, ki je omogočala in obenem legitimirala vladno delovanjeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInstitutum Studiorum Humanitatis - Fakulteta za podiplomski humanistični študij
