description | Crowdfunding campaigns are a form of digital fundraising in which anyone can participate as a supporter
(backer). The central genre of crowdfunding is campaign call, that is, a fundraising-oriented pitch published on a crowdfunding platform. This study focuses on crowdfunding campaign calls in times of two
world-wide crises: Ukrainian war and Covid pandemic. The aim of the study is to find out what kinds of
hybrid genres crisis-contextualized crowdfunding campaign calls are. The material of the study consists of
67 successful business-oriented campaign calls, 27 of which are from Ukrainian companies fundraising on
Kickstarter during the Ukrainian war, while 20 Mesenaatti campaign calls belong to Finnish and 20 Indiegogo calls mainly to U.S. companies suffering from the Covid pandemic. The study utilizes Rhetorical Genre
Studies (RGS) and approaches crowdfunding campaign calls as mixtures or combinations of characteristics
from several genres. The study discusses the five most typical genres found in the data: 1) entrepreneurial
narrative, 2) advertisement, 3) conditions of contract and delivery, 4) project plan, and 5) political statement. The results indicate that in times of societal crises, crowdfunding campaign calls mix emotion-evoking storytelling and political stance-taking with more rational types, such as product information (a type
of advertising) and project plan. |
