‘Our words are stronger’ : re-enforcing boundaries through ritual work in a terrorist news event

2020

This article investigates the ritual work in terrorist news events, using the Berlin truck attack as a case in point. The article connects with the larger cluster of anthropologically inspired communication research on media events as public rituals in news media and applies digital media ethnography as its method. Fieldwork is conducted in 15 online news sites. The article identifies three key phases through which the ritual work was carried out: the rupture in the news event (ritualised as the strike), the liminal phase (ritualised as the manhunt) and the reconstitution of order following the attack (ritualised as the mourning). The article concludes with an interpretation of the broader …

Crisis communication and terrorism: Mapping challenges and co-creating solutions

Poikkeustila yhdysvaltalaisessa poliittisessa keskustelussa syyskuun terroristi-iskujen jälkeen

2008

Tutkimus tarkastelee poikkeustilan esiintymistä yhdysvaltalaisessa poliittisessa keskustelussa syyskuun 2001 terroristi-iskujen jälkeen. 11.9.2001 muodosti Yhdysvalloissa uuden tilanteen, jonka poliittisen merkityksen määrittelyssä ja jonka esittämien uhkien torjumiseksi presidentti George W. Bushin hallitus ja sen virkakoneisto turvautuivat poikkeustoimiin. Yhdysvaltain presidentti George W. Bush julisti puheessaan poikkeustilan (state of emergency) terroristi-iskujen jälkeisen tilanteen ratkaisemiseksi. Poikkeustoimiin tai tämänkaltaisiin tilanteisiin ei ole kuitenkaan varauduttu Yhdysvaltojen perustuslaissa, eikä niillä ole suoranaisia ennakkotapauksia Yhdysvaltojen historiassa. Syyskuun…
