Digital Networks

Larger connection and communication Common feelings, new identites (Manuel Castells) Share of ideas, methodology, impasses: collective intelligence (Pierre Lvy) Free software, copyleft and hacker ethics

Global connexions

Global financial networked system global riposte #15O: Together for global change Desterritorialized communities: a new political class? Larger global issues x local political dynamics

Historical perspective

Economical models political conflicts cultural issues social dynamics new forms of collective action New Social Movements: break of traditional class struggle frameworks We shoud not look to to contemporary capitalism with retrograde glasses of the magic unity of labour classes (Yann M. Boutang, The cognitif capitalism)

Collective action

Internet as a public space: interactions networks streets Representative democracy putted into question Micropolitics (Felix Guattari): subjective dimension of movements based of affective relations Shared narratives (digital + global) collective action Molecular revolution
