Ciberparticipación en Buenos Aires: ¿los sitios de redes sociales como espacio público?

Abstract

This paper will discuss the concepts of deliberation, public space, and the role of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in the light of the major social and political transformation processes from the recent protests, particularly since 2011, in different parts of the globe. We also refer to changes in Argentina in the last decade and, then, analyze, in particular, youth social political participation in Buenos Aires and the social appropriation of ICTs engaged for this purpose today. Finally, we will reflect on the limits and potential of certain forms of cyberarctivism of Kirchner youths.
