In this article, we draw on ethnographic research to examine some key communication activism practices of Spain's indignados (15M) movement. The 15M radically transformed communication activism in Spain through its strong political-pedagogical orientation. Here lies the greatest 15M lesson for Communication for Social Change: Ordinary citizens in countries like Spain are rejecting traditional roles as “beneficiaries” of institutional communication campaigns. Instead, they have become active political actors who are able to generate their own processes of political pedagogy and communication. We conceptualize this lesson by positing the existence of three principles of 15M communication activism as a school of politics: the principles of pedagogical sovereignty, action, and networking.

Communication Activism as a School of Politics: Lessons From Spain's Indignados Movement

En este articulo, presentamos algunos aspectos de la investigacion etnografica que hemos realizado sobre la dimension pedagogica-politica que subyace en los entornos y en los procesos de comunicacion del Movimiento 15-M. Concretamente, abordamos los fundamentos teoricos de nuestro estudio a partir de los conceptos de ‘comunicacion educativa’ y ‘cultura politica’, y reflexionamos sobre el caracter pedagogico-politico implicito tanto en las practicas asamblearias como en los proyectos de comunicacion que el Movimiento 15-M ha desarrollado desde su aparicion.

In this paper I consider the mobile ethnography as a methodological possibility for the socio-anthropological analysis of gender, identities, internet and the traffic that characterizes all these. This proposal is based on a research work with trans people (MtF) from Mexico City. Internet and social media gain importance in daily life of people. Virtuality is no more a science fiction periphery but a daily communication instrument and a social space. Social media are not firm spaces but characterized because of the constant traffic online-offline of users. Gender identity plays a central role in these movements.

ABSTRACT This article explores the influence that the educommunicative dimension of the 15M Movement has had on the creation and consolidation of a new ecosystem of independent media. To this end, we rely on a document analysis of the movement’s minutes and manifestos and on the review of the editorial principles and educational activities of a sample of independent media. We also draw on ten in-depth interviews with key journalists and activists who actively participated in the 15M. We argue that the movement’s media activism had a clear educommunicative orientation that strengthened pre-existing media activism, opening windows of opportunity for media innovation. This contributed to the rise of a new media ecosystem of independent media characterised by three key elements: (1) synergies and mutual support; (2) the key role of the community of subscribers and users; and (3) an educational agency with a public service orientation. Finally, we illustrate that this new media ecosystem displays a clear educommunicative orientation. This orientation is rooted in the imaginary and practices of the 15M and is based on the revitalised civic role of journalism and on the value of information for radical democracy. This article advances social movement studies by engaging a dialogue between an educommunicative perspective and a media ecology lens. It articulates the relevance of media as educational agents and explores the impact of a social movement in the creation and shaping of a new media ecosystem.

The rise of a new media ecosystem: exploring 15M’s educommunicative legacy for radical democracy

On the 18th October 2019, one of the biggest social crises in Chile’s recent history broke out in its capital Santiago. Against a backdrop of state repression and disinformation, there emerged multiple collaborative initiatives, largely based on new technologies, to collate spatial information. The objective of this article is to discover this collation’s significance and usefulness. As such, these cartographic records have been identified and analysed by way of genuine participatory observation within social networks. The results present digital cartography as a strategy of mutual care, an arena for struggle and a fundamental milestone in its continuity.
