From Eccentricity to Extremism: Understanding the Anti-Covid-19 Movement as Countercultural Hybrid Media Activism

从古怪到极端主义：将反新冠肺炎运动理解为反文化混合媒体活动反新冠肺炎活动提出了一种复杂且被低估的极端主义威胁，尚未通过亚文化理论以建设性的方式进行批判性分析，也未在威尔士/英国的背景下进行分析。通过研究这一运动，它如何构建和使用在线叙事，以及如何将其转化为线下行为组织，该提案试图利用这些洞察力来生成理论框架，以新的方式理解反Covid文化。它将建立在即将到来的研究(Anthony 2022)的基础上，该研究描述了在线反Covid激进主义的一个新方面。在社交媒体上，在线反疫苗思想正在通过建立独立的网站劫持伴随的叙述而与其他社会运动结盟，从而扩大了在线覆盖面。即将到来的工作面临着时间和资源的限制，这排除了有价值的线下社会学和人种学研究。

From Eccentricity to Extremism: Understanding the Anti-Covid-19 Movement as Countercultural Hybrid Media ActivismAnti-Covid-19 activism presents a complex and underestimated extremist threat, not yet critically analysed via subcultural theory in a constructive way, nor within a Welsh/UK context. By examining this movement, how it constructs and appropriates online narratives, and how this translates into behavioural organisation offline, this proposal seeks to use these insights to generate theoretical frameworks towards understanding anti-covid culture in new ways.It would build on forthcoming research (Anthony 2022) describing a novel aspect of online anti-covid activism. Post social media, online antivaccine ideology is aligning itself with other social movements by building independent websites that hijack concomitant narratives, resulting in greater online reach. The forthcoming work faces time and resource constraints that preclude valuable offline sociological and ethnographic study.
