Kunnen we ons tegenwoordig nog een computerloos tijdperk voorstellen? Als student in de jaren zeventig heb ik nog mijn werkstukken op een ouderwetse typemachine getikt. We hebben in Nederland momenteel meer mobieltjes dan inwoners, maar ik kan me nog de vaste zwarte telefoon in de huiskamer herinneren. Nu kijken we niet eens meer op van internet op een telefoon. En twitter, de nieuwste rage, is helemaal een erkend onderdeel van het dagelijks leven geworden, vooral onder politici. Wie sociaalwetenschappelijk onderzoek doet naar het sociale en culturele leven kan dan ook niet meer voorbij deze digitale wereld. Informatie en communicatietechnologie heeft ons tijdperk definitief veranderd.

Abstract Social media in and around the emergency shelter for refugees near Nijmegen, the NetherlandsTo cope with the limited capacity of the established reception centres during the refugee crisis of 2015, the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum
Seekers (COA) set up emergency reception centers for refugees such as Heumensoord nearby the Dutch city of Nijmegen. At the peak of the crisis, the Heumensoord centre hosted about 3,000 asylum seekers. COA's organizational approach to manage reception centers was characterized by a top-down
policy. At the same time, host communities of local residents around the emergency reception center developed horizontal relations within and beyond the walls of the center, actively using available social media platforms such as Facebook. These horizontal relations enabled the development
of social relations, and facilitated the exchange of goods and services. This article demonstrates the different communication strategies used by the stakeholders at Heumensoord, and how the different worlds of asylum seekers and the receiving, host communities came together. It also presents
bottom-up alternatives to the top-down crisis approaches by unravelling cooperation options and the use of social media platforms that can lead to a more resilient interaction between asylum seekers and local communities.
