Movimientos urbanos y comunicación transformadora: elementos de análisis del nuevo activismo digital

Abstract

The emergence of new processes of local and global participation has redefined the social context that is the object of scientific deliberation, pointing to the confirmation of unprecedented forms of collective action. The new netactivism of rights to the city means that exercising citizenship and good governance is conceived not only as the construction of processes of citizen inclusion and deliberation, but above all as a process of struggle and appropriation through diffuse resources such as the Internet, a process that finally fights for the code that demands greater permeability and cognitive openness. Thus, we are witnessing today the proliferation of a new multiple collective complexity, and derived from it a crisis of representation, which demands social thought and theory. Cyberdemocracy must be approached as a Political Economy of the Archive, as a metacognitive critique of the capture of the experience of cyberculture, beginning with the indicators of digital inclusion and ending with the ways of sharing and socializing knowledge about the social. Within this framework it is necessary to propose new concepts on the construction of the virtual agora. The following article deals with a review of specialized literature on the subject, advancing elements for a critique of contemporary technopolitical processes from a structural analysis of the processes of mediation and collective construction of common forms of articulation of autonomous spaces by the new urban movements as a result of the crisis of representation of the liberal mediation regime.
