“…However, among several factors, altruism results from direct benefits and reciprocal interactions that will have positive effects on the network ( Lehmann & Keller, 2006 ). The concept of altruism is generally defined as an expression of benevolence ( Louis et al, 2019 ) based on the welfare and happiness of others ( Kelly & Walsh, 2015 ) or on the urge to help another ( West et al, 2007 ). Altruism is defined by Durkheim as a characteristic of mechanical society, which is characterized by uniformity and sharing of ideas.…”

This paper focuses on four e-initiatives that were precipitated by the coronavirus outbreak in Italy. These experiences played a relevant role in developing multilevel solidarity (from the local to the global level) both online and offline. They are represented by the hashtags “#iorestoacasa” (I stay at home) and “#andràtuttobene” (everything will be alright), “performances on the balcony,” “influencers’ campaigns,” and “altruism and e-parochialism.” These experiences represent revealing examples essential to understand the benefits that a mediated form of solidarity can produce. This is particularly important given the challenges that solidarity faces due to the technological acceleration imposed by the pandemic, which is likely to influence social relationships even in the post-pandemic era. Four lessons can be learned from these expressions of e-solidarity related to the capacity of Information and Communication Technologies to (1) promote unconditioned altruism; (2) fight “parochialism” when the same disadvantaged condition is shared; (3) their capacity to develop a multilevel sense of community by connecting the local experience to the global dimension; and (4) to mediate between institutional sources and people, and connect family members, friends, vulnerable people with neighbors, and the global community. This last point suggests that the pandemic has offered fertile ground for both mechanical and organic forms of solidarity to emerge. On the one hand, it created a collective conscience based on shared vulnerabilities and interdependence. On the other hand, it is based on individualization and diversity. Indeed, these examples of Durkheimian collective effervescence show the paradox of a form of collective individualized and mediated solidarity, which is typical of contemporary society.

Forthcoming in American Behavioral Scientist (ABS). This paper focuses on four e-initiatives that were triggered by the Coronavirus outbreak in Italy. These experiences played a relevant role in developing multilevel solidarity (from the local to the global level) both online and offline. They are represented by the hashtags “#iorestoacasa” (I stay at home) and “#andràtuttobene” (everything will be all right), “performances on the balcony”, “influencers’ campaigns” and “altruism and e-parochialism”. These experiences represent virtuous examples to understand the positives that a mediated form of solidarity can produce. This is particularly important given the challenges that solidarity faces due to the technological acceleration imposed by the pandemic, which is likely to influence social relationships even in the post-pandemic. Four lessons can be learned from these expressions of e-solidarity related to the capacity of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to i) promote unconditioned altruism and ii) fight “parochialism” when the same disadvantaged condition is shared; iii) their capacity to develop a multilevel sense of community by connecting the local experience to the global dimension and iv) to mediate between institutional sources and people, and connect family members, friends, vulnerable people with neighbours, and the global community. This last point suggests that the pandemic has offered fertile ground for both mechanic and organic forms of solidarity to emerge. On the one hand, it created a collective conscience (a whole) based on sharing a disadvantaged condition and interdependence. On the other hand, it is based on individualisation and diversity. Indeed, these examples of Durkheimian collective effervescence show the paradox of a form of collective individualised and mediated solidarity, which is typical of contemporary society.

Abstract:Popularized by the mass media, Max Weber's sociological concept of charisma now has a demotic meaning far from what Weber had in mind. Weberian charismatic leaders have followers, not fans, although, exceptionally, fans mutate into followers. This essay aims to trace some of the dimensions of Weberian charismatic religious leadership in comparative perspective, medieval and modern. Examples include: preachers, -double charisma,‖ professors, -collective charisma,‖ religious radicals, the economy of charisma, transgressive sexuality, demagogues, living saints.
