Summary/Abstract: The article addresses a narrative of communanlity stemming primarily from feelings of responsibility. Referencing selected media reports on Carola Rackete’s sea rescue operation in 2019, the article discusses the circumstances under which a society calls on its individual members to act in a spirit of responsibility for their community - and at which point this common hope actually results in common action. The paper focuses on what constitutes responsible communities real and imagined, i.e. the discursive processes by which a community is invoked through the attribution of feelings of responsibility. The article employs methodological elements from linguistic and social science discourse research.
