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.

Date and Time: August 3, 2020, 13:00 – 15:00 WIB

It’s been 4 months we have lived side by side with the corona virus pandemic and a bunch of information about the plague. world’s statistical data and the Government of Indonesia show how the pandemic continues to this day, there are no signs except in some countries where the people and governments are very disciplined. However, at the end of June, the public’s attitude towards the pandemic became very slack. The concept of “new normal” which was implemented by the Government in various countries was responded as “back to normal”. This situation is in stark contrast to the first two months of the pandemic, where many people took extra measures to deal with the pandemic, now people seem to have no problem. How can we understand all this?

This FIB webinar will explore the diversity of this “new normal” experience that seems too early in a comparative manner between regions through archaeological, historical, linguistic, literary and ethnographic perspectives.

Will be held on August 10, 2020 13.00 – 15.00 WIB
