Информация из ненадежных источников, диванные аналитики, нагнетание паники – так выглядит собирательный образ социальных медиа во время чрезвычайных ситуаций. Во время пандемии с проблемой поиска достоверной информации столкнулись и русскоязычные эмигранты – прежде всего, в Китае и Италии, в странах с максимальным числом заражений до конца февраля 2020 года. Доклад посвящен тому, как русскоязычные инстаграм-блогеры в Китае и Италии освещали вспышку COVID-19 в своих странах.

8 points about the role and relevance of media studies and (mass) communication research in the global pandemic/infodemic: 1. why are media & why is (mass) communication important - because in media we are all participants in the "production of enchantment" (Silverstone, 1999); 2. considering a parallel pandemic/infodemic as coined by the WHO in February 2020 in a stunning recognition of the inseparability of the real and the virtual; 3. what happens in the 'dual convergence' everyone is experiencing right now - of traditional and new media systems, and of all spheres of life, simultaneously at home; 4. the accelerated collapse of the business model of traditional media industries (advertising, subscriptions and sales); 5. the (relatively unchecked) acceleration of the digitalisation and mediation of everything, especially in areas related to privacy and health; 6. the widespread concern about misinformation, disinformation campaigns and fake news and the return of the 'powerful media effects' thesis; 7. the need for an expanded definition and practice of media and information literacy focusing on creativity, emotions and mental health; and 8. an appreciation of love as the fuel that fires the engines of all media engagement.

"While the COVID-19 pandemic has been testing the crisis responses across nations, it has alsocontributed to theintensification of the debates around media and their influence on public perceptions. In my recent article, I explored the instances in Russia, Slovakia, and the United States when media influencers, as well as some rather marginal rogue actors, offered reframing of the main securitized governmental frame. The concept of “securitized framing” implies that a severe existential threat requires extraordinary means of response; for example, the pandemic has been securitized in many narratives of the public officials. Through the seminar, we will further explore media’s part in these processes. The analyzed cases are different on many levels. Hence, we will aim to separate the idiosyncrasies from the more generalizable lessons. National contexts continue to be increasingly intertwined with broader complicated crises, such as borderless health threats and looming problems of extremism and political violence. At the same time, the conversations are intertwined as they are simultaneously happening on both local and globalized media platforms. Professionals in the fields of media, public relations, and strategic communication should acknowledge the complex nature of current crises and the media conversations that surround these crises".

"In this seminar we will start with a general theoretical outline of how media may help people cope with adverse situations.

First, we will show how previous studies have mainly emphasised the entertainment function of television and its potential to support emotion-focused, behavioral and cognitive avoidance strategies. The positive, absorbing contents, showing little semantic affinity with the problematic situation, are supposed to generate mental distraction, relaxation and to uplift people’s spirits. News media, on the other hand, have mainly been associated with an informative function. By providing relevant information about the problematic situation they may support problem-focused, behavioral and cognitive approach coping strategies. Finally, social media have been associated with social support coping strategies (which may be both emotion and problem focused): by communicating with other people about the problematic situation, people might be more capable of dealing with it. 

Second, we will argue that TV entertainment actually covers different types of programmes, and generates different types of experiences. More in particular, we will distinguish between hedonic and eudaimonic TV programmes and demonstrate how they have been linked to different types of coping styles (respectively avoidance and approach coping) in the past. We then suggest to have a closer look at some specific coping strategies, i.e. humor coping and religious coping, as they not only seem to  align with the hedonic/eudaimonic distinction, but also represent coping strategies that might be particularly relevant in the context of a pandemic. Research has already shown that during the COVID-19 situation maintaining a “positive” outlook and “making sense” of the situation, have been important aspects when trying to cope with the crisis.

After the theoretical part, we will describe an online vignette study we conducted during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Flanders (Belgium) amongst 336 individuals. Results based on four three-way mixed ANOVA’s suggest that people select entertainment media based on their existing hedonic and eudaimonic preferences, but also in function of their coping strategies. People who, in general, preferred hedonic TV contents, were also more likely to select “lighter”, non-COVID-19 related programmes during the lockdown. Those who, in general, preferred eudaimonic TV programmes, were also more likely to select more meaningful (both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 related) contents. Those who used humor as a coping strategy preferred television programmes that addressed the crisis in a less meaningful, but funny way. Those who used religion as a coping mechanism preferred meaningful and moving content (in general)".

The aim of the presentation will be, on the one hand, to present partial results of research on digital disconnection of young media users during the pandemic and, on the other hand, to look at this research area from a methodological perspective. Few qualitative research methods applied in the research during the last 18 months will be presented, including less popular ones, in order to determine their usefulness for exploring voluntary non-usage, not only during the lockdown.

Доп. информация о мероприятии

Пандемия COVID-19 стала испытанием городских сетевых технологий на прочность, а горожан — на готовность к быстрому переходу в гибридный (оффлан/онлайн) формат. Она привела к вынужденной, а иногда и насильственней смартизации: когда границы стран и городов закрылись, а на многочисленных «воротах» городов появились «цифровые замки», жители города оказались в зоне крупномасштабного технологического и человеческого эксперимента.

Участники семинара рассказали о результатах своих исследований, связанных с возможностями и ограничениями жизни в городах, пронизанных цифровыми технологиями и наполненных жителями, которые, как в состоянии (вынужденной) неподвижности, так и в многочисленных перемещениях по урбанизированным пространствам, остаются постоянно подключенными к цифровым сетям или выбирают выход за их пределы.
