Fifty-seven participants engaged in visual self-narrative and photo-elicitation workshops to understand coping during the pandemic and to examine implications of reflection on photographs. Findings from 878 photographs revealed that participants coped with COVID-19 and changed social environments more emotionally than behaviorally, likely because infection risk may feel out of one’s control. Interestingly, when participants reflected on their own visual self-narratives, emotional coping continued to be more salient; the majority of participants felt a sense of overwhelming thankfulness for children, family, self, and time to spend with each.","PeriodicalId":43914,"journal":{"name":"Visual Communication Quarterly","volume":"31 1","pages":"87 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79110396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analysis of 6,529 images available in the SMERP data set was carried out to identify and understand the main themes emerging from the discussion on Twitter regarding the damages to cultural heritage sites. Fewer than 10% of the tweets with images available in the data set have cultural heritage sites as the subject. Among them, six main themes emerged from the analysis presented. The dominant theme, with 67% of the heritage images posted, involves some kind of situational awareness where Twitter users aimed to communicate the state of heritage sites after the earthquake.","PeriodicalId":43914,"journal":{"name":"Visual Communication Quarterly","volume":"24 1","pages":"34 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77563542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
