生命叙事:新冠肺炎疫情中的流言与武汉市民的集体行动

Narrative of the Life: Rumors and Collective Action of Wuhan Citizens in the Outbreak of COVID-19

"武汉市民开窗大合唱"是抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎期间市民的首次大规模集体行动,本文通过对25位市民的深度访谈探查他们对流言的接触与态度等。研究认为:流言接触渠道具有显著的移动化特征,多模态流言则强化了集体行动的情感叙事;对行动规则的调试、健康信息的解释、集体行动的评价成为社会意义争夺的焦点;"远亲不如近邻"的社区共同体提升集体行动的效率和规模,社会结构在关系情境中被重塑;地方成为集体行动中记忆和文化的依托,并通过地方实现疫情中集体行动的延续。流言是我们关于病毒的生命叙事,也是我们融入全球社会的情感之径,其通过集体行动落地、验证和阐释,就有可能成为嵌入社会结构中的文化。

Wuhan citizens’opening chorus is the first large-scale collective action during the COVID-19 period.By conducting in-depth interviews with 25 Wuhan citizens,this study explores their exposure and attitudes to rumors.Results demonstrate that:1)rumors are circulating through mobile information channels actively,the feature of multimodality strengthens the emotional narrative of this collective action.2)The competition of social meaning confirmation focused on the adjustment of action rules,the interpretation of health information,and the evaluation of this action.3)The prominent characteristic of the community,which can be summarized as"a close neighbor is better than a brother far off,"acts as an impetus to improve the scale and efficiency of collective action.Besides,the social structure also reshaped in the context of relationships.4)The"local,"as the residence of collective memory and shared culture,ensures the continuity of collective action.In summary,Rumors emerged as life narratives during this epidemic,provide an emotional approach for us to integrate into this global society.Rumors have the chance to evolve into a specific culture embedded in social structure by verifying and interpreting themselves in real collective actions.
