We are researchers in meaning-making, communication and social interaction – we are semioticians and linguists, who look at different spheres of human communication (including but also beyond writing and speech, e.g., image, gesture, music, dress, etc.); we are based in different countries and continents around the globe.

We have started this because we believe we are in urgent need to understand how communication practices have been changing across the world during the pandemic and how this can impact on the future of social interactions.

We cannot do this alone though – and we can hardly do it with the traditional pace and means of research publication, as the situation is changing quickly, impacts everybody similarly and yet differently and needs to be tracked while it is happening.

So we’ve started this website and a series of pages, events and hashtags on social media because we need to gather as much collective observations and reflections as possible – and we need to do this in real time – to start a conversation with everybody who is interested in contributing.
