Movimenti sociali, reti telematiche, indignazione morale: rivoluzione o rivoluzione colorata?
L'illusione tecnomane della via digitale alla rivoluzione in Oriente legittima il controllo sociale in Occidente e la preparazione dei regime-changes. A non capirlo sono ormai solo Castells e il Manifesto [SGA].
Risvolto
This book is an exploration of the new forms of social movements and
protests that are erupting in the world today, from the Arab uprisings
to the indignadas movement in Spain, and the Occupy Wall Street movement
in the US. While these and similar social movements differ in many
important ways, there is one thing they share in common: they are all
interwoven inextricably with the creation of autonomous communication
networks supported by the Internet and wireless communication. In this
timely and important book, Manuel Castells -- the leading scholar of
our contemporary networked society -- examines the social, cultural and
political roots of these new social movements, studies their
innovative forms of self-organization, assesses the precise role of
technology in the dynamics of the movements, suggests the reasons for
the support they have found in large segments of society, and probes
their capacity to induce political change by influencing people's minds.
Based on original fieldwork by the author and his collaborators as
well as secondary sources, this book provides a path-breaking analysis
of the new forms of social movements, and offers an analytical template
for advancing the debates triggered by them concerning the new forms of
social change and political democracy in the global network society.
