UNAS, Viviam. New Technological Repertoires and Social Movements: the case of the Northern Cauca Indigenous Association (ACIN). CS [online]. 2010, n.6, pp.255-282. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i6.468.

The purpose of this article is to present some reflections on the way in which the Internet is being used as a stage on which social struggles are fought out and political alliances are formed, which would ultimately reshape the ideas of collective action and social movement. It places emphasis on the approach of some social movements (especially of the indigenous movement in the northern Cauca region) to using the web to expand their repertoires of actions, their objectives for struggle, and the number of stakeholders who join their initiatives. In this respect, we claim that social movements, even without intending to do so, have turned the efforts to establish links and a connectionist attitude, which Boltanski and Chiapello (2002) attributed to workers in flexible labor markets, into core resources of the militant practice.

Palabras clave : Political Action; New Technological Repertoires; Subpolicy.
