O cuidado de si e o mundo distribuído: a apropriação dos meios de comunicação e as novas práticas políticas em rede

Abstract

This research subject is the appropriation of communication media and the new political practices in the network, from information sharing to collective action. The starting point is from the hypotesis that the emergence of descriptions, terms, vocabularies, fields that guide s reconfigurations of domains in possible knowledge in this time of massive access to internet, reveals new conditions of a future being produced in the present, decreasing distances between the networks and the devices that cross the govern-society institutional relations. Our aim is to investigate the internet access and invention of new ways of making politic. As specific aim a mapping of displacement of knowledge field was carried out, articulating the distributed concept to multiplicity of communication media s uses and appropriations. Methodologically, the axis of the formation of scientific knowledge was analized from the articulation of Michel Foucault 's focus on experience, the concepts of governmentality and itself government, and concepts of discursive practices, procedures and subjectivity processes developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, as references for uniqueness, multiplicity and difference. The bridges between these concepts and some contemporary social analysts were developed, as Shirky, Chris Anderson, Manuel Castells, Miller and Rose, authors that collaborateto understand how some ways of thinking about the world begin to emerge in the public space as a hybrid opportunities to be more active and collaborative in practices of itself and others government. It is also the nature of the study object the existence of big data, computing power and reading interfaces currently available. The immense amount of data (and metadata) produced in the networks, the existence of statistical hardware and software and innovative visualization, with low cost and processing capacity, constitute a change. Events as manifestations of June in Brazil among others in the world were analyzed through mappings of social networks and the characterization of these cases and their consequences in the field of networking experience and practical innovative policies. It was possible to demonstrate that more than creating motivations is the use of tools by people that make internet amplify its potential without going through mediation of government or official communication channels. This is the innovative character of the appropriation of the communication media, information sharing to collective action: the new political practices in the new network
