本文基于2013年在伦敦伍尔维奇发生的Fusilier Lee Rigby谋杀案的案例研究。它显示了通过社交媒体平台收集的开源通信数据的分析如何能够阐明这些事件后出现的社区间和社区内冲突动态。在柯林斯关于冲突局势中的升级和降级力量的最新理论工作的框架下，实证分析带来了一些关于“冲突弧”的新见解。这些框架的概念重点是在走向基于群体的冲突时发生的动员和反动员的互动顺序，以及理解这些参与的多极性质的重要性。
This article is based upon a case study of the 2013 murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, London. It shows how analysis of open source communications data collected via social media platforms can illuminate the inter- and intra-community conflict dynamics arising in the aftermath of such events. Framed by Collins’ recent theoretical work on the escalatory and de-escalatory forces in conflict situations, the empirical analysis brings to the fore some new insights about the ‘arc of conflict’. These frame a conceptual accent upon the interactive sequences of mobilization and counter-mobilization occurring in the moves towards group-based conflicts, and the importance of understanding the multi-polar nature of these involvements.
