| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to understand the social uses of internet in the proposition of the World Social Forum on Migrations (WSFM), in order to understand the role information and communication technologies play to build a common agenda among social actors related to different territorialities. From the understanding that migrant networks of the Forum are against hegemonic globalization and propose the agenda of universal citizenship, we structure the theoretic discussion in three parts, which comprehends: 1) the construction of the global citizenship agenda, 2) other kinds of comprehension about the idea of territory in global societies and the new possibilities of technologies and internet, and 3) the migrations as a social movement. Methods for empirical investigation are built from the observation of websites, documental research and semi-structured interviews with migrants that take part on the organization of WSFM. The analysis tries to understand the uses of the internet made by these actors. Two categories emerge: at the same time internet becomes a space for the articulation of different networks, it is also conceived as a place for emission, in order to allow the visibility of the migrants agenda and diffuse counterhegemonic discourses. | en |
