Tecnopolítica, recientes movimientos sociales globales e Internet. Una década de protestas ciudadanas

Abstract

This work aims to problematize the links between technology and politics as a differentiating element in the definition of recent global social movements (RMSG). This category is proposed from a new scientific discipline: technopolitics. The citizen protests that emerged in 2011 cannot be understood without the role played by the Internet, social media and private messaging services. These digital tools were key in its strategic, and identity configuration. With the aim to go beyond the theory of social movements that has dominated in recent decades, the epistemic category of RMSG is proposed. In this article, by means of a qualitative methodology, the foundation of this new concept is analyzed. The main conclusion which has been reached is that RMSG have in common a series of generational, digital and global components and technopolitics is essential to analyze them.
