Praktyki mobilizacji emocjonalnej. O zmaganiach z emocjami w komunikacji cyfrowej
Przedmiotem analizy w tym eseju są procesy mobilizacji emocjonalnej zachodzące w komunikacji cyfrowej. Zaproponowano, by spojrzeć na emocje nie jak na stany przeżywane przez ludzi, lecz szerzej, jak na praktyki społeczne: zarówno działania włączające nasze odczuwanie emocji, jak również praktyki prowadzące do ich uspołecznienia. W takim ujęciu emocje przestają być własnością pojedynczego człowieka, a stają się kwestią społeczną – określonym, real…
Metody jakościowe i etnograficzne w analizie procesów konstruowania rzeczywistości społecznej w interakcjach cyfrowych
Celem tekstu jest analiza potencjału wybranych narzędzi jakościowej socjologii cyfrowej do badania procesów konstruowania rzeczywistości społecznej. Obserwacja, że rzeczywistość społeczna wyłania się w dającym się uchwycić i poddać analizie procesie interakcyjnym, leży w centrum zainteresowania tak zwanej socjologii konstrukcji rzeczywistości. Socjologia emocji dodatkowo uwydatnia znaczenie emocjonalnych podstaw tego procesu. Jednocześnie dominuj…
Agency Attributions under a Normative Crisis
This article applies interpretative repertoire (IR) analysis to data collected in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic to unravel the dynamics of collective meaning-making under the strain of a critical situation. We claim that the pandemic should be viewed as a normative crisis, that is, an event that reorganizes the symbolic resources of a society. IR analysis allows for the identification and reconstruction of symbolic frameworks activated unde…
Mask Wearing as an Emotional Practice
In this article, I explore the collective emotional dynamics that have contributed to sustaining mask wearing as a significant practice within a selected online COVID-advocacy group. Combining Hochschild's notion of collective emotional work with Scheer's concept of emotions as practices, I document how community members 'do' concern for COVID-19, transform shame into pride, and manage anger in digital interactions. Rather than concentrating on t…
Investigating Collective Emotional Structures
Since Hochschild proposed the notion of a 'deep story' to address a collective emotional structure (particularly resentment) underpinning political attitudes and social divisions in the contemporary USA, this category has been widely embraced across social sciences to reflect upon links between sedimented emotions, motivations, actions and means of social mobilization. Simultaneously, however, criticism of this concept has been articulated which …
The emotional infrastructure of a cybercrime collective
Complex cybercrime markets face collective action problems. As they involve disparate networks of individuals, they cannot use in person persuasion or coercion to ensure cooperation. They face a tension between being open to new members and opportunities, and regulating participation. We propose that collective emotional regulation plays a crucial part in managing members' behaviours within illicit marketspaces. We take one critical case, Dark0de…
Managing Fear Through Digital Interactions
In this article, I analyze the meaning-making struggle within a major Polish vaccine-hesitant cyber community triggered by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on an online observation of interactions directly following the outbreak in Poland, and in-depth content and conversational analysis of selected conversations, I posit that the pandemic circumstances were experienced in this community as a pervasively ambiguous situation: ambivalen…
Digital localisation in an illicit market space
Sociology of drugs and digital sociology-albeit for different reasons-need the analysis of interactions, an approach underdeveloped in current scholarship. We address this gap by providing a specific analytical framework for the analysis of digital interactions which enables an ethnomethodological account of micro-interactional dynamics within a cryptomarket: an anonymous darknet market of illicit drugs. As a case study we chose the 'PsychForumMa…
Enthusiasm as emotional practice
The East of the West, or the West of the East? Attitudes toward the European Union and European Integration in Poland after 2008
Through the lens of modernization theories, the process of European integration can be perceived as Poland’s second modernization, following the systemic transformation in the nineties. In this article, we analyze the divergent perceptions of the European Union, and attitudes toward European integration, as they coexist within contemporary Polish society. We introduce the notion of European integration as a triple modernization, encompassing econ…
Searching for a Narrative of Loss
In this article I analyze the collective management of ambiguous emotions in the case of grief arising from perinatal loss/stillbirth. Based on a content analysis of selected Polish discussion lists for bereaved parents and interviews with moderators of these lists, I conceptualize the experience of grief arising from miscarriage/stillbirth as both culturally 'disembedded'-not regulated by a coherent set of feeling and display rules, and interact…
