Rezumat

The coronavirus pandemic made humanity face the unknown and the unpredictable. It changed the world order, generating a period which confirms the theory of contemporaneity as a liquid and unsecure society (Bauman, Morin, Plesu). The virus-chameleon has generated a megacrisis: a crisis of structure (institutional), a crisis of systems (medical-sanitary, financial-economic, psychologicalcommunicational, and others), a crisis of cycles etc., which revealed specific issues in different spheres and the need to reconceptualise the guidelines and priorities. Covid-19, a coded assault, shows how fragile humanity is today. The significance of entering a new stage of the world’s society also requires the creative adaptation of the academic communities to the imminent changes of the fields. Science represents a space to advance hypotheses/ to make proposals/to search and to find solutions in this complicated situation. During the spasmodic times of pandemic, science, culture and art became a sui-generis vaccine fighting against fear and death, as they replace immortality. Therefore, science and culture help us produce positivity, creativity and immunity.
