MOUVEMENTS SOCIAUX ET SENS DE LA VILLE : LA CIRCULATION DU DISCOURS URBAIN PAR LE NUMÉRIQUE

Differently from the conditions of production presented in the early 1980s, the digital space occupies a prominent place for contemporary subjects. It is in this space that social mobilizations, debates, discussions and, especially, circulation take place. When we talk about circulation, we can think of both the discourses and the subjects that circulate through the network. In other words, if in Mitterrand's victory the circulation of discourses took place through television, printed newspapers, radios and soccer stadiums, with the digital, we have a new element to add. And this element, as we will show in our analyses, overdetermines all these other media. In this way, we can put that the big question that moves this work is: how does the digital cross the processes of signification of urban subjects and cities? And, in order to answer this question, we will compose our corpus of analysis with the publications of four social movements, two French and two Brazilian, and the images of their demonstrations that circulated on the Internet. The two French movements are the Gilets jaunes and the Collectif Lyonnais pour la gratuité des transports en commun, and the Brazilian ones are the Movimento Passe Livre and the Movimento Brasil Livre.
