Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt to approach the covid 19 pandemic as a social phenomenon and analyze the discourses that arise from it. Understood in Foucault's broadest concept, these discourses attempt to produce a new discursive reality called “new normality”, which is in fact a redefinition of the role and position of man in the world. We approached the discourses and techniques of “new normality” with the philosophical-theoretical apparatus of Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Julia Kristeva, Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard. From the detection of the phenomena of discipline and disciplinary normalization of the human body and its “abjectification”, through the phenomena of panopticism, surveillance and monitoring, to the analysis of the pandemic as a global spectacle, we have found that further analysis of the social aspects of the pandemic is inevitable and very important, because covid 19 pandemic greatly affects human rights and freedoms.
