Abstract

From Cyberactivism to Technopolitics. Social movements in the era of technological skepticism. A collective work co-published by José Candón Mena and David Montero Sánchez that is born from the reflections and synergies generated biannually at the Move.net International Congress since 2015, a meeting consolidated in its fourth edition as a reference for those of us who carefully examine the links established between Social Movements and ICT. Being a work situated and committed to social change, the critical look is present in each of the texts and together they manage to show the complexity and dynamism that political uses of technology currently adopt, with an accessible language and many examples. In addition to the notorious prominence of social movements and innovative activist practices, problems, challenges and trends that threaten the democratic pillars of today’s societies are analyzed.
