Abstract

The work is devoted to the analysis of crisis discourse in social networks. The term "crisis narrative" is used for stories that are generated by persons in a crisis situation to describe their feelings and experiences. The phenomenon of the crisis narrative in the posts of social network users has not yet been the subject of psychological research. The components and features of crisis discourse in social networks are considered. The work was performed on the social media posts Facebook and Instagram. A large sample of posts identified as "crisis" was analyzed using content analysis methods. The emotionality of crisis narratives and their orientation towards a dialogue with the addressee who can understand and share the author’s experiences are noted. The target orientation of the posts of the crisis narratives is analyzed in detail as well as the motivation of the authors, which consists of the need for virtual psychological support, the need for self-representation and the use of a social network platform to acquaint their circle of readers with general author’s thoughts. The thesis about the resource role played by crisis narratives in social networks is argued. The functions that are performed by the posts of the narrative plan in the context of the crisis are highlighted: it is a form of organization and streamlining of the flow of information that is difficult to accept and understand; (2) awareness and understanding of the values that a person professes; (3) selection of like- minded people and increasing their cohesion. Semiotic varieties of crisis narratives and their hybrid forms are considered. Parallels with analogues of "crisis narratives" in fiction are drawn. Emphasis is placed on the need for a person to develop his own conscious development strategy in difficult circumstances.
