ROVIRA SANCHO, Guiomar. Performative Constellations and Urban Crowds: Network Activism, Feminist Sensitivity and Counterinsurgency. Desacatos [online]. 2019, n.61, pp.40-55.  Epub 22-Nov-2024. ISSN 2448-5144.  https://doi.org/10.29340/61.2131.

The network as a minimum form of organization, normative ideal and communication infrastructure has become the paradigm of collective action. In this article I analyze the emerging forms of protest typical of the internet age: from activist networks to connected crowds. The first one builds the power of heterogeneous transnational political articulations without governing command. With the extension of web 2.0, the connected crowds burst into the cities and weave performative constellations that stage a feminist and hacker sensibility. In recent years, the global wave of explicit feminist mobilizations coexists with digital counterinsurgency strategies promoted by corporate interests that pollute communication.

Palabras llave : activitsts networks; connected crowds; performative constellations; feminism; hacker ethics.
