This article analyzes the digital activism that has been developing in Cuba in recent years and seeks to discover what its impacts are, as well as the obstacles and challenges it faces. Taking a tour of different types of activism, the analysis shows that the Digital Activism has led to an increase in the expression and activity of citizens in the public space and facilitated contentious action and protest, opening new channels of participation and incidence to citizens, but also increased surveillance and state control. From this perspective, the Digital Activism is constituted as a antecedent of the social explosion of 11J, so its analysis can contribute elements for its understanding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
