In 2020, the coronavirus crisis ruptured societies and their everyday life around the globe. This article is a contribution to critically theorising the changes societies have undergone in the light of the crisis. It asks: How have everyday life and everyday communication changed in the coronavirus crisis? How does capitalism shape everyday life and everyday communication during this crisis? Organized in sections, the second one focuses on how social space, everyday life, and everyday communication have changed during the coronavirus crisis. The third one focuses on the communication of ideology in the context of coronavirus by analyzing the communication of coronavirus conspiracy stories and false coronavirus news.
