The essay aims to show the relevance of logistics for political theory, both as an object of research for understanding production, and as an angle on the transformations involving the state-form, sovereignty and the formation of subjectivity in the global age. By reflecting upon some experiences of field research, the essay discusses logistics as an element of the transnational dimension of the political and as a specific form of power and governance. The essay argues for the need to critically analyze the discourses and transformations connected to logistics in order to imagine new forms of theoretical production to critically grasp the present and includes some preliminary insights to interpret the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
