Communication, culture and new emerging behaviors in times of crisis
Communication, culture et nouveaux comportements émergents en périodes de crises
An exploration from the perspective of human and social sciences and their game changer
Une exploration sous l’angle des sciences humaines et sociales ainsi que leur game changer
Published on Monday, February 20, 2023
Abstract
The pandemic has imposed new rites, a new way of life mainly: at work, at school, in leisure and travel, and even in our most intimate social interactions with our friends, families, and loved ones. The principle of “social distancing” has insinuated itself everywhere (Frédéric Tangy &Jean-Nicolas Tournier2021). This colloquium aims at examining this new transdisciplinary theme. In this regard, under the supervision of the Laboratory of Sciences Applied to the Environment and Sustainable Development (SAEDD), our Action and Research Group in Communication, Culture and Organization (GARCCO/ARGCCO) will launch the second edition of its international colloquium.

Argument
The pandemic has forced us to consider that since 2020, we have entered a new era, that of repeated epidemics and pandemics. This new potentially permanent state, according to Gilles Lipovetsky, has had complex and multidimensional impacts that have led us, and arestill leading us, inevitably to different ways of seeing the world, thinking about it and acting within it (France Lafleuret al.2022). Indeed, the pandemic, by shaking up the rules of the social game, is also shaking up the ways of thinking and behaving. At the same time, the crisis has stimulated innovation in a range of sectors, including education, tourism, and economy. In education, for example, we have seen the birth of innovative initiatives, which have enabled the continuation of teaching and training activities – on the radio, on television or elsewhere. Distance learning formulas have been developed thanks to the rapid intervention of states and partners around the world determined to ensure educational continuity, in particular the Global Coalition for Education set up by UNESCO.
Seen from this approach, the crisis under study is indefinitely a game changer. It is an element that significantly changes the usual way of thinking or acting. Starting from this point, the argument of our colloquium already puts forward two main hypotheses. The first is that this game changer, this "disruptor,"“disruption", or "change" (the contraction of "change and "capsizing") has given rise to new ways of communicating, behaving, acting or a new culture within all spheres of Moroccan society, and therefore to new research themes that will emerge from design to the perception of time and space in a pandemic context, through education, human sciences, democracy, economy and consumption, sociability relationships or the environment within the Moroccan society --like the other societies worldwide, with the common point of questioning the values implied by the transformations in progress. The second main hypothesis is that the existence of these "emergencies" is a striking proof of the resilience of Moroccan society or any other "healthy" society against any unexpected crisis.
At the crossroads of these two research themes, the answers to which will surely lead to other questions, a communicative, cultural and behavioral social reconfiguration is thus taking shape, amplified by the pandemic (France Lafleur et al. 2022).
Starting from this double stance, it is a question of describing these changes through all the professional or non-professional spheres of Moroccan society through the human and social sciences, given that their main objective is to study and "to understand why individuals [...] or social groups, small or large, do what they do, think what they think, feel what they feel, say what they say" (Solange Martin and Albane Gaspard2016). Communication, culture and human behavior in all their dimensions are therefore integral to different disciplines such as information and communication sciences, education sciences, language sciences, literature, tourism, economics, psychology, psycho-sociology, sociology or anthropology, etc.
Main axes
- The transformations induced by this "disruption" on the act of teaching-learning within the Moroccan or foreign education system.
- The new teaching-learning programs such as Soft Skills for example, to deal with this "change."
- The experiences and challenges of language learners at university since the introduction of distance learning, their views on the adoption of post-pandemic online learning by their institutions.
- Political or journalistic speeches that fall within the framework of crisis communication; show how they keep us aware of the eruptive and disruptive aspects of the COVID-19 event; show how they manage to circumscribe what they tell us about a society faced with a major crisis and whose structures and components can sometimes be revealed in exceptional configurations.
- The new questions arising from the recent experience of our societies of distance and digital means of communication. That is, the questions arising from relationships that currently weave a daily life tinged by the health crisis and its consequences.
- The expression of this change at the level of novels, theater, poetry, stories, painting, festivals, media, social networks etc., whether from a point formal or semantic.
- The establishment of new Moroccan or foreign cultures in public, professional and associative spheres….
- The emergence of new behaviors in educational, touristic, economic, spheres, whether private, public or associative in a pandemic period.
- The emergence of new behavioral and professional training to deal with the crisis in training settings.
These lines of thought are not exhaustive. They could raise other relevant questions andproposals are left to the choice of speakers...
