CATEGORIZING CIVIC ACTIVITIES DURING SOCIO-POLITICAL MOBILIZATION: SEARCH AND CONSTRUCTION OF RESEARCH APPROACHES
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
Emerging forms of civic participation in modern socio-political conditions require innovative research approaches. Analyzing communication in online communities helps to determine the intentionality and sensitivity of such activities. Within the context of socio-political mobilization of Siberian regions, these include situational, process, structural-functional, and mixed approaches. The active social engagement is analyzed against the backdrop of external geopolitical challenges for the Russian Federation and the ongoing process of social reset. The socio-political mobilization is considered as a complex and multidirectional social, economic, cultural, and political challenge. It includes such concepts and subjects as political consciousness and behavior, socio-economic and political innovations, civic activism, volunteers, and participants of the Special Military Operation, as well as various forms of social self-isolation, relocatees, political refugees, political tourists, foreign agents, objectors, etc. Effective public engagement implies communicative practices driven by public interest combined with a social demand for a practical result. Taking into account external and internal opportunities and limitations, socio-political mobilization in Russia acts as an assembly point, i.e., a platform of rapid communications demonstrating the content of socio-political interaction between the participating parties.
