Abstract

In addition to revealing the skeleton of societies, their structure more or less conducive to facing an enemy that produces a truly global social catastrophe, are the rooting of vital human activities in the soil of the history of each nation and how this catastrophe catches every human life, as well as the historical particularity of each country. Thus, universal fear and the way the pandemic impacts art and culture will reflect these reproductive lines.
