The success of the diary showcases how the actual health emergency has been transformed into a communication issue.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>This study is exploratory and qualitative in nature. The authors conducted a thematic analysis (TA) of Wuhan Diary<\/jats:italic>, in which we decided to focus on the aspects of sousveillance and solidarity. For the purposes of our paper, we used the English translation of the text by Dr. Michael Berry.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>The authors focus on two major themes in their exploration of the corona crisis as a global communication issue: sousveillance and solidarity. The authors argue that the diary's ways of seeing perform a version of \u201csousveillance\u201d or \u201cundersight\u201d in juxtaposition to surveillance or \u201coversight\u201d (Mann, 2017). Fang Fang calls for solidarity as an effective measure for individuals, communities and societies to contain the pandemic and a potential misinfodemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>Since Wuhan was the early epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wuhan Diary<\/jats:italic> presents an unprecedented narrative account of life under quarantine that could function as a litmus test for other cities and countries. Fang Fang's diary provides a countermeasure to official accounts of the pandemic in Wuhan, which has resonated both with people in China and abroad.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/oir-08-2020-0367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,22]],"date-time":"2021-02-22T06:06:14Z","timestamp":1613973974000},"page":"795-809","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Corona crisis chronicle: Fang Fang's Wuhan Diary<\/i> (2020) as an act of sousveillance"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7436-0629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jana","family":"Fedtke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2782-3029","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed","family":"Ibahrine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2272-9404","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuting","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2021082306311876600_ref001","volume-title":"Sousveillance, Media and Strategic Political Communication","year":"2010"},{"key":"key2021082306311876600_ref002","volume-title":"Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity","year":"1992"},{"key":"key2021082306311876600_ref003","unstructured":"Berry, M.
