“…While they play a key role in communicating these symbols, they also appreciate that they are players in a larger drama. Crises are assemblages of many smaller dramas, and sensitivity to these dramas can help crisis managers grasp the emerging meaning of the crisis (Carlin & Park-Fuller, 2012). In addition, Pragmatist crisis managers appreciate that they may themselves become symbols of heroism, victimhood, or blame.…”

Modern societies are increasingly faced with “unknown unknowns,” Black Swans, and mega-crises. Both public and corporate leaders find it deeply challenging to respond to these crisis events. Existing approaches and tools to cope with crisis-induced uncertainty are of little help in these dynamic environments. This article explores how the principles of Pragmatism may provide the building blocks for a theory of effective strategic crisis management. We argue that these principles, formulated by a group of American philosophers in a time of deep uncertainty, provide a way of thinking that will help practitioners prepare for, and deal with, emerging risks, crises, and disasters.

“…Studies have shown that while subjects in post‐disaster research can experience short‐term distress during their participation, most individuals ultimately perceive the benefits of their participation as outweighing the costs (Collogan et al, 2004; Newman & Kaloupek, 2004; Parslow et al, 2000). In many respects, our experience demonstrated that you cannot presume how people will respond to disasters (Carlin & Park‐Fuller, 2012; Hu, 2015).…”

Occasionally, events occur that disrupt ongoing fieldwork, forcing researchers to deal with, and adapt to, new realities. In this paper, we discuss how the 2015 Nepal earthquake – which occurred while we were conducting fieldwork in one of the affected areas – forced us to reassess our research agenda, profoundly affected our relationship with the community we had been working in, and evoked challenging ethical questions in respect to our obligations to our research participants.

“…For this reason, the story of Neda Agha-Soltan's death resonated worldwide. It encouraged empathy on a personal level as a narrative that could be retold"... without stultifying, grossly replicating, or patently reifying a single meaning, thus allowing for a cycle of narration and narratization that can turn the performed personal experience into a complex community one" [55]. The narrative remained dynamic, powerful, and alive through multiple reframings, reflections, and reiterations.…”

“…By doing so, they open up new vistas for political participation that function as extensions of familial groups, blurring barriers between private life and public participation. Personal narratives are the foundation for participation in the political forum online [55]. For this reason, the story of Neda Agha-Soltan's death resonated worldwide.…”

Traditional scholarship on social movements and journalism could not envision the dramatic changes that emerging social media have brought to social uprisings. Social media technology have served to challenge cultures of control, simultaneously eroding barriers between public and private lives and promoting civic engagement of individuals in their societies. This chapter explores the implications of emerging social media employed by citizens during the disputed 2009 Iranian elections. It focuses on the use of social media including cell phones, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, blogs, and YouTube to spread information about the death of Neda Agha-Soltan and, as a result, coalesce anti-government protestors. Starting from the case of Neda Agha-Soltan, this chapter investigates how social media have changed the role of protestors functioning as citizen journalists in social movements.
