“…As stated in the Introduction, this crisis has been mostly studied under an agent-centered qualitative approach [42][43][44][45], while other authors have conducted a structure-centered research based on quantitative ecological data [41,46] or on communication analysis [47,48]. Table 1 As seen, most of the research on the 2016 Chiloé red tide crisis follows qualitative criteria.…”

“…In-depth interviews are the most preferred source of data, while content analysis is the most frequently selected technique. Three studies [42,43,48] resort to social media analysis in their design, while one of them [126] uses survey data for assessing Chiloé's social-ecological services, and another one [46] applies modeling and simulations for its purposes, being this an oceanographical analysis of the triggering role that the dumping of dead salmons into the sea played in the 2016 red tide crisis.…”

“…In a previously published article [42], the authors have analyzed this event in detail mostly under an actor-centered qualitative approach with a few elements of social media research. In the meantime, other researchers have applied similar methods to explore this case [43][44][45], while others conducted a more structure-centered research, whether referring to quantitative ecological data [41,46] or to communicative consequences [47,48]. Considering this, we argue that the case of the 2016 red tide crisis on Chiloé Island, is a well-suited case for identifying the novel knowledge that can be gained for social-ecological research when conducting social media analysis with a multi-method approach.…”

Considering traditional research on social-ecological crises, new social media analysis, particularly Twitter data, contributes with supplementary exploration techniques. In this article, we argue that a social media approach to social-ecological crises can offer an actor-centered meaningful perspective on social facts, a depiction of the general dynamics of meaning making that takes place among actors, and a systemic view of actors’ communication before, during and after the crisis. On the basis of a multi-technique approach to Twitter data (TF-IDF, hierarchical clustering, egocentric networks and principal component analysis) applied to a red tide crisis on Chiloé Island, Chile, in 2016, the most significant red tide in South America ever, we offer a view on the boundaries and dynamics of meaning making in a social-ecological crisis. We conclude that this dynamics shows a permanent reflexive work on elucidating the causes and effects of the crisis that develops according to actors’ commitments, the sequence of events, and political conveniences. In this vein, social media analysis does not replace good qualitative research, it rather opens up supplementary possibilities for capturing meanings from the past that cannot be retrieved otherwise. This is particularly relevant for studying social-ecological crises and supporting collective learning processes that point towards increased resilience capacities and more sustainable trajectories in affected communities.

El objetivo general del presente estudio es caracterizar los procesos de irrupción, progresión y desenlace que evidencian los episodios de conflictividad social ocurridos en Chile, entre los años 2015 y 2020. Como unidades de observación se consideran la coyuntura de huelga minera en que fue asesinado Nelson Quichillao (2016); el mayo chilote (2016); el estallido social (2019); y la rebelión del hambre de la comuna de El Bosque (2020). Se emplea al análisis del contenido de fuentes secundarias, correspondientes estas a literatura académica y recortes de prensa local. La observación integrada de los casos indica como principal resultado la persistencia de una baja capacidad sistémica del entramado institucional chileno a la hora de anticipar y reaccionar ante la sucesión de momentos de conflicto social. Ello se expresa en la implementación reiterada de una estrategia de gestión de la crisis basada en la militarización (vía promulgación del Estado de excepción), criminalización mediático-jurídica de la protesta social y otorgación de concesiones mínimas (y/o parciales) a los sectores movilizados. Como discusión, se plantea que tal estrategia, implementada durante las segundas administraciones respectivas de Michelle Bachelet (2014-2018) y Sebastián Piñera (2018-2022) permiten codificar el surgimiento y fortalecimiento de nuevos referentes políticos, pero que hoy evidencian ser portadores de una serie de tendencias críticas para la estabilidad democrática de la formación social chilena.
