| contents | What is left of the protests? Social movements and youth empowerment in Brazil Magda Pischetola Estudios Culturales Social media Self government Social movements Political leadership Youth participation Over the past few years, new forms of socialization of politics through social media have found expression in collective mobilizations. The paper examines the case of the recent uprisings in Brazil. It presents the results of a qualitative research carried out between June 2013 and June 2015, with focus on the actors involved, their reasons to participate, as well as the continuity of their action. Three research tools were used in the study: social media mapping, an online survey and interviews with activists. The findings give credit to the existence of a connective logic on the social networks, as they illustrate that what attracted the masses in June 2013 was mainly the ‘event of a protest’. Nevertheless, political engagement was found to increase in smaller circles, among groups of youth who got involved during the uprisings, and are motivated by the idea of a political resistance up to present days. 2016 artículo científico 1600-0110 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16249406012 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=162 Diálogos Latinoamericanos application/pdf Aarhus Universitet Diálogos Latinoamericanos (Dinamarca) Num.25 |
