The Covid-19 pandemic has represented a before and after in the relational and communication forms between museums and their audience. In this article we want to analyze the reaction of different museums in America, Europe and Oceania to the lockdown experience and how the digital initiatives generated by some of them have contribute to the transformation of their communication and interaction with the public. This transformation is part of a previous process and unrelated to the pandemic, but it has been accelerated by the health alarm. The analysis of social networks of these museums, during the first months of 2020 and also those of 2021, can offer us elements of reflection around the relationship we establish with the object, the public as a participant and active element and the future. of museum proposals incorporating technology from face-to-face or virtuality.

This article is based on a historical survey of the terminology used to refer to cohabitation without marriage. Over the years different terms have been applied to it, leading to the current difficulty of finding a suitable term for a new situation which is becoming increasingly common. This lack of terminological clarity in the academic field also extends to couples who cohabit and their close relatives, who do not have a single, clearly defined concept for this type of relationship. This article aims to highlight the inherent lack of definition regarding a current social reality in Catalan families as an example of changes in marital life. The terminology shows how cohabitation is an option forming part of a transformation that goes beyond the couple, affecting the family and family relationships in general. The article is the result of an anthropological analysis carried out as part of the research thesis "L'amor sense papers. Parella, fills i parents en la cohabitació a Catalunya" (Love without papers. The couple, children and relatives in cohabitation in Catalonia) (2016). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
