Representations, resources and communication strategies of MOCASE-VC in ICT

Abstract

Representations, resources and communication strategies that the Peasant Movement of Santiago del Estero (MOCASE-VC, Argentina) deploys to deal with the debates and claims related to land ownership are addressed. It inquiries about the potential of diffusion that the networked society offers and the ways of constructing representations that circulate and re-circulate in the global network. In particular, the dynamics of their Experiential Internships open to the community are observed. The theoretical-methodological approach is carried out from the perspective of Social Representations and contemplates the differentiated logic of virtual support as a space for symbolic circulation of information to address the use of virtual space and the modes of action adopted by social movements.
