Abstract EN
The article centres on the analysis of online expressions of solidarity during periods of polycrisis. Utilizing a distinctive longitudinal dataset of tweets collected over a three-year span (March 2020 to March 2023), this study addresses two primary questions: (1) how, and in relation to what events or actors was solidarity discussed by Twitter users in Poland, and (2) how did the various types and themes of solidarity expressions evolve over time. The analysis is theoretically informed by a descriptive-analytical framework for examining solidarity within a social media context. Methodologically, the study employs topic modelling combined with qualitative analysis and interpretation. Three meta-topics (international crisis solidarity, national crisis solidarity, and social solidarity with politically vulnerable groups) are identified and discussed, highlighting their relevance to the evolving reality of polycrisis.
