The Covid 19 or Coronavirus appears suddenly and causes fear and imbalance at the social, psychological, political, and economic levels. It forced societies to disrupt their communicative habits, which were generally based on customs and rites, and helped consolidate relationships between individuals. This is visible in a country such as Tunisia, where this cultural mode was perceived as a sign of Arab-Muslim identity.
This paper discusses the process of communication in three phases: first, indicate how these behaviours were based in a relatively secular environment, on the principles of more or less traditional communication in its family, social and religious dimensions. Then, show how this pandemic lead to a limitation of communication even with our closest ones and how in order to maintain health, public authorities encouraged isolation, providing scientific justifications and theological interpretations. Finally, I will explain how modern means of communication intervene to recreate new links, through new communication practices.
Our approach consists of a semantic and semiotic analysis of these three forms of ‘communication’, ‘non-communication’ and ‘re-communication’. This is based on a collection of messages broadcasted on television, shared on social networks or posted in the streets.
The application of a cultural methodology which combines some elements of anthropology and sociology will help us examine values through the injunctions that this discourse conveys. I will try to bring out some results concerning the updating of affective relationships through the use of modern means of communication which take into account cultural variations. The challenge is to find solutions to serious situations without clashing too much with identity references.
The debate focuses on this isolation which is perceived apparently as a risk of derogating from specific values by replacing them with more individualistic feelings; and also as a post-modernist reconstruction of values: there was a pre-Corona, there is a present cohabitation with the virus, but what about the after Corona?
