Social movements and technology: cartography of the academic production of Brazilian theses and dissertations
This research seeks to understand how recent technological changes condition collective action processes and practices through how the field of research on social movements has reflected on this phenomenon. To understand the relationship between collective action and digital information and communication technologies, a mapping of the academic production of the field of social movements between 2000 and 2018 in Brazil will be carried out, specifically through the analysis of theses and dissertations defended in this period. This work delves into this field of research to construct theoretical syntheses and understand the dialogical relationship between collective action and digital technologies, that is, how technological changes transform the practices of social movements, just as social movements appropriate technologies and transform them within their processes of collective struggle.
