  Ten years after the collapse of the Rana Plaza textile factory in Dhaka,
Bangladesh that killed over $1\,000$ factory workers, the event has become a
symbol for the desolate working conditions in fast fashion producer countries
in the global south. We analyze the global Twitter discourse on this event over
a three week window around the collapse date over the years $2013$ to $2022$ by
a mixture of network-theoretic quantitative and discourse-theoretic qualitative
methods. In particular, key communicators and the community structure of the
discourse participants are identified using a multilayer network modeling
approach and the interpretative patterns of the key communicator's tweets of
all years are analyzed using the sociology of knowledge approach to discourse.
This combination of quantitative and qualitative methods reveals that the
discourse is separated into three phases: reporting, reprocessing, and
commemoration. These phases can be identified by the temporal evolution,
network-structural properties, and the contentual analysis of the discourse.
After the negotiation of the interpretative framework in the reprocessing
phase, subsequent years are characterized by its commemorative repetition as
well as resulting demands by different international actor groups despite
highly fluctuating participants.
