Resumen
LAMY, Cláudia y PEREIRA NETO, Pedro. Social Movements and Virtual Social Networks in a comparative perspective. OBS* [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.3, pp.272-294. ISSN 1646-5954.
The latest technologies of production, transmission and access to information have made it possible, in the presence of the appropriate conditions, to change the visibility of some national and international concerns, and the social movements that many have helped to stimulate. More or less democratic countries, more or less authoritarian, have been placed before a multiplicity of protests that, articulated online, surpass the barriers of the virtual world and (re) assume presence in the streets. In this article, drawing from several examples with different claim bases, we address the role played by virtual social networks in these forms of political participation organized by the civil society. However, as it happens in só many initiatives in this field, this is not affirmed from an underestimation of the role of Traditional Means of Communication or that of the trenches in the access and use of digital means.
