Modalidades de participación política en Facebook

Abstract

Faced with centrist-adult postulate that proclaims the apathy and disaffection of young people in policy, this article attempts to refute this postulate from an analysis of the modalities of participation that are leading social networks, Facebook in this case. That is, it focuses on the stage of social and political participation: the micro-politics. First, it proposes an extension of the sense of politics, appealing for it to youth studies, the epistemological and anthropological proposal of Zemelman, and notions of ‘micro-politics’ and ‘crowd’. Notions that can announce allow the passage of a policy to a policy of mass crowds. On the other hand, it appeals to ‘communication contract’ notion that offers theoretical and methodological thinking modes of appropriation that users are doing on application Facebook “groups”.
