Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a case study conducted through digital ethnography and textual analysis methods. The thematic focus concerns the role of online communities of practice as resilience tools in the case of emergency and crisis. The origin of this assumption lies in some reflections developed in view of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially given the varied typology of social responses to this crisis. A fundamental aim in this research is the exploration of the dynamics and spontaneous practices of social support that take place today in digital environments. This study uses the theoretical paradigm of community resilience and its interpretative dimensions, such as proactivity and adaptation. The analysis of the online community Noi Denunceremo - Verità e giustizia per le vittime del COVID-19 (We Will Denounce - Truth and Justice for the Victims of COVID-19) indicates the interdisciplinary relevance of pursuing this avenue of research, especially in view of the findings that identify the role of online communities of practice in promoting inclusive and participatory responses to emergencies and crises.

COVID-19大流行期间在线实践社区的复原力:意大利案例研究

本文介绍了通过数字民族志和文本分析方法进行的案例研究的结果。专题重点关注在线实践社区在紧急情况和危机情况下作为复原力工具的作用。这一假设的起源是鉴于2019冠状病毒病大流行的影响，特别是考虑到对这场危机的社会反应的不同类型而进行的一些反思。本研究的一个基本目的是探索当今数字环境中发生的社会支持的动态和自发实践。本研究采用社区弹性的理论范式及其解释维度，如主动性和适应性。对网络社区“我们将谴责-为COVID-19受害者伸张真相和正义”的分析表明，开展这一研究途径具有跨学科的相关性，特别是考虑到研究结果确定了在线实践社区在促进包容性和参与性应对紧急情况和危机方面的作用。

期刊介绍： International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
