Communicative habitus and social distancing. Effects on the modes of sign production during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

In the year 2020, in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Mexico’s government implemented health policies of “social distancing”. In this essay, we make a theoretical reflection on this policies’ effects on signs’ production. The paper begins with our definition of communicational habitus and the semiotic relationship with social distancing to analyze systems’ evolutionary control from a systemic-semiotic approach.
