The Indonesian people has been living under the COVID-19 pandemic and the barrage of information that comes with it for 4 months. The Indonesian Government’s and the World’s data shows that the pandemic is still raging on, with no signs of slowing down except for some exceptionally disciplined countries.
Yet, at the end of July, the People’s awareness and caution of the pandemic dramatically relaxed. The Govt’s “New Normal” concept is being taken as a “back to normal” messaging, back to pre-pandemic times. This condition is in contrast to the first two months of the pandemic, where many of the People took measures to fend off the pandemic. How do we comprehend this condition?
This FIB Webinar will explore the premature “New Normal” experience comparatively between regions through archeological, historical, literal, and ethnographic perspectives.
