| description | The COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected interpersonal relationships globally. Furthermore, in 2020, Croatia was hit by devastating earthquakes that triggered a series of humanitarian actions. This paper deals with the ‘Let’s bring the premature babies back to Petrova hospital’ Facebook group and its auctioning model. The auctions were created through cooperation of the Facebook group members and, as such, have not been described in scientific literature. The aim of this paper is to understand what the case can tell us about cooperation in the digital environment and its role in creating digital humanitarian actions. Using a mixed-methods approach, the authors analyze posts published by Facebook group members and interviews conducted with organizers to explain the phenomenon of strengthening the existing connections among participants and undertaking a collective action. This case indicates that digital activism does not necessarily result in pure slacktivism. In point of fact, transparent participation of community members, along with a transparent model, can have tangible effects on society through successful humanitarian actions
Pandemija bolesti COVID-19 uvelike je utjecala na međuljudske odnose na globalnoj razini. Osim toga Hrvatsku su 2020. godine pogodili i razorni potresi koji su pokrenuli niz humanitarnih akcija. Ovaj rad bavi se grupom na Facebooku „Vratimo Palčiće u Petrovu” i aukcijskim modelom koji je nastao u grupi, a koji je inovativan po tome što su aukcije nastale suradnjom članova navedene grupe i kao takve nisu opisane u znanstvenoj literaturi. Ovim člankom nastoji se objasniti što nam taj slučaj može reći o suradnji u digitalnoj okolini te o njezinoj ulozi u stvaranju digitalnih humanitarnih akcija. U radu se analiziraju objave u grupi i intervjui s organizatorima kako bi se opisao fenomen jačanja veza među članovima navedene grupe i provođenja kolektivne akcije. Analizirani slučaj ukazuje na to da digitalni aktivizam ne mora rezultirati čistim slaktivizmom (engl. slacktivism), s obzirom na to da transparentno sudjelovanje članova zajednice, zajedno s postojanjem transparentnog modela, pogoduje stvaranju opipljivih učinaka u društvu kroz uspješne humanitarne akcije. |
