Abstract

The Cyber-Racism and Community Resilience (CRaCR) project included an examination into features of online communities of resistance and solidarity. This work formed a key part of the project’s focus on resilience and produced a deeper understanding of a range of types of actors working in this space and how they might individually contribute effectively to creating resilience. The need for new synergies between different types of stakeholders and approaches was highlighted as an area of future work. This paper explores a design for that future work that builds and supports online communities of resistance and solidarity by drawing on the lessons from the earlier research and extending them. This new work both presents a model for cooperation and explains how different stakeholders can positively engage under the model in a smarter way. That is, through a system which facilitates Solidarity in Moving Against Racism Together while Enabling Resilience. This new approach draws on the strengths of individuals actors, but also seeks to turn points of weakness for one actor into opportunities for cooperation that strengthen the system as a whole.

建设抵抗和团结的智慧社区

网络种族主义和社区韧性（CRaCR）项目包括对在线抵抗和团结社区特征的研究。这项工作构成了该项目对复原力关注的关键部分，并使人们更深入地了解了在这一领域工作的各种类型的行动者，以及他们如何单独有效地为创造复原力做出贡献。有人强调，不同类型的利益攸关方和做法之间需要新的协同作用，这是未来工作的一个领域。本文探讨了未来工作的设计，通过借鉴早期研究的经验教训并加以扩展，建立和支持在线抵抗和团结社区。这项新工作既提供了一个合作模式，也解释了不同的利益相关者如何以更智能的方式积极参与该模式。也就是说，通过一个促进团结起来共同反对种族主义，同时增强韧性的系统。这一新方法利用了各个行为者的优势，但也试图将一个行为者的弱点转化为加强整个系统的合作机会。

期刊介绍： Cosmopolitan Civil Societies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is concerned with developing a better understanding of social change and cultural cohesion in cosmopolitan societies. Its focus lies at the intersection of conflict and cohesion, and in how division can be transformed into dialogue, recognition and inclusion. The Journal takes a grounded approach to cosmopolitanism, linking it to civil society studies. It opens up debate about cosmopolitan engagement in civil societies, addressing a range of sites: social movements and collective action; migration, cultural diversity and responses to racism; the promotion of human rights and social justice; initiatives to strengthen civil societies; the impact of ‘information society’ and the context of environmental change.
