Some Semiotic Remarks on the Narrativity of Covid-19

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to construct a problematics of narrativity manifested in the diverse discourses of the Covid-19. It attempted to show some narrative and metaphoric features of this discursivity. The Covid-19 pandemic produced a variety of narratives and is also constructed by such narratives. This mutual constructiveness provides insight into narrative change strategies in the context of Covid-19 for the future. Now in the era of pre-Coronavirus (BC=before Coronavirus), the main narrative at the beginning of the age of 21 was how to create openness to move the narrative of the unsustainable state of populism and neoliberalism. Covid-19 expanded the semiotic space where narrative changes can occur. How do we make meaning in a global pandemic? The narrative semiotics may highlight some of the principles for changemakers who are moving forward in the world of Covid-19.
