This paper carries out, on a Bakhtinian dialogical principle perspective, the emergence of a pandemic chronotope due to the worldwide sanitary crisis, set off by the new coronavirus 2019-nCov. This chronotope features like a space-time in which is produced a discursiveness set related to this issue. Thus, it was attempted to describe the surfaced images between body and the virus. Therefore, some pictures were selected, published on social media during this lockdown period. Summing up, inside this pandemic chronotope, microchronotopes come out producing bodies images, such as: in the hospitals, the lockdown, and the death. Still, there is a typology of the bodies controlled by the class-gender-race relations, in an intersectionality view, which rules how the real (the virus and the disease) is symbolized by the bodies.
