This article addresses the phenomenon of mobile bystanders who use their smartphones to film or take photographs at accident scenes, instead of offering their help to people in need or to assist medical units. This phenomenon has been extensively discussed in Swedish news media in recent years since it has been described as a growing problem for first responders, such as paramedics, police, and firefighters. This article aims to identify theoretical perspectives that are relevant for analyzing mobile media practices and discuss the ethical implications of these perspectives. Our purpose is twofold: we want to develop a theoretical framework for critically approaching mobile media practices, and we want to contribute to discussions concerning well-being in a time marked by mediatization and digitalization. In this pursuit, we combine theory from social psychology about how people behave at traumatic scenes with discussions about witnessing in and through media, as developed in media and communication studies. Both perspectives offer various implications for normative inquiry, and in our discussion, we argue that mobile bystanders must be considered simultaneously as transgressors of social norms and as emphatic witnesses behaving in accordance with the digital media age. The article ends with a discussion regarding the implications for further research.

移动的旁观者和橡皮颈,灾难游客和帮手。建立理论框架以批判性地研究事故现场的行动可能性

本文解决了移动旁观者使用智能手机在事故现场拍摄或拍照的现象,而不是向有需要的人提供帮助或协助医疗部门。近年来,这种现象已经在瑞典新闻媒体中进行了广泛讨论,因为对于急救人员(如医护人员,警察和消防员)来说,这一现象已成为一个日益严重的问题。本文旨在确定与分析移动媒体实践相关的理论观点,并讨论这些观点的伦理意义。我们的目的是双重的:我们希望开发一种用于严格处理移动媒体实践的理论框架,并且希望在以中介化和数字化为标志的时代为有关福祉的讨论做出贡献。在这个追求中,我们结合了社会心理学的理论,即关于人们在创伤现场的行为方式,以及关于在媒体中和通过媒体进行见证的讨论,这在媒体和传播研究中得到了发展。两种观点都为规范性探究提供了各种含义,在我们的讨论中,我们认为必须将流动的旁观者同时视为社会规范的违法者和根据数字媒体时代而行事的有力证人。本文最后讨论了对进一步研究的意义。我们认为,移动旁观者必须同时被视为社会规范的违规者和根据数字媒体时代而行事的有力证人。本文最后讨论了对进一步研究的意义。我们认为,移动旁观者必须同时被视为社会规范的违规者和根据数字媒体时代而行事的有力证人。本文最后讨论了对进一步研究的意义。
