The purpose of this paper is to examine from a humanistic perspectivethe aspects of change in the thought and perception of disasters afterCOVID-19 pandemic. Invisible viruses have brought significant changesto the way the humanities have dealt with disasters before. It begins with a reminder that Maurice Blanchot has been aiming for“L’écriture du désastre” since Auschwitz, saying he will “learn to thinkabout the situation of disaster with pain.” It critically viewed the sensitivityof capturing disaster situations, such as the tentacles of “tentacles of seaanemones,” the racist nuance of post-disaster sentences, and the virus thatis “equal” to everyone reveal the reality of an “unequal” society. Meanwhile, the emergence of new words such as "New Normal" couldlead to the illusion that a new “daily” would develop. Online space records everything in real time as it enters thenon-face-to-face era. This contrasts with the fact that records andtestimonies have served as an important occasion in identifying historicaltruths in historical studies. Since “1950,” there has been a growingdiscourse that Korea has been living in a geological era called“Anthropocene,” which is remembered as the year when the Korean Warbroke out in “1950.” This point shows that although disasters have thenature of transnational borders, memories and narratives of disasters canbe presented differently based on historical experiences. Disaster simultaneously changes the cognition of history and the sense of art. The experience and memory of disasters are lenses that give adifferent view of the past history and the reality that we are living now. The fear of Pandemic confirms again that humans are the existence of“contact” and “movement.” If we compare the narration of Pandemic withthat of people who suffered from Hansen's disease, which is a chronicinfectious disease, we will find the same and different. The work ofstudying disasters from a humanistic point of view after the Pandemicasks for theories and methodologies that are different from the previousconsideration of disaster memories, narratives, healing and trauma.
