Listening to and Living With Networked Media During a Pandemic

2021

This article explores mediated listening from the perspective of intimacy during the first weeks of the coronavirus pandemic. The theoretical frame builds on the literature on listening and presence in mediated environments, audience engagement, and intimacy as meaningful connections. Methodologically, the study is connective ethnography, and the data was collected by collaborative autoethnography. Our data show that listening was an individual sensemaking strategy of the outside world and a means to form connectedness. Threading between different screens on digital platforms caused the collapse of public and private contexts, and through these, particular types of intimacy arose. When the …

Conquering the liminal space : Strategic social media influencer communication in the Finnish public sector during the COVID-19 pandemic

We found that public organisations turned to SMIs through influencer marketing and influen…

2021

Šajā bakalaura darbā tika pētīts, kādi piesardzības pasākumi sabiedrības drošības nodrošināšanai pandēmijas laikā pastāv Japānā, kādas noteikumu sistēmas tika ieteiktas iepriekšējās pandēmijās 1918. un 2009. gadā, un tika analizēta un salīdzināta piesardzības pasākumu ieviešana COVID-19 pandēmijas laikā 2020. gadā. Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija izprast, kādi piesardzības pasākumi tiek rekomendēti kā “noteikumu sistēmas” pandēmiju laikā Japānā mūsdienās un pagātnē, un kādā mērā šādas sistēmas ir līdzīgas vai atšķiras. Izmantotās pētniecības metodes bija analītiskā un salīdzinošā. Caur šajā darbā veikto pētījumu tika noskaidrots, ka vairums Pasaules Veselības Organizācijas sabiedrības veselī…
