Rencontres

Outrage... and then what? Strengths and limits of online activism: a conversation with Carolina Gonzalez aka La Carologie 

If indignation is the prologue to action, the former can condemn the latter if we are content with it.

In the age of social media, a tool for politicisation and dissemination, and even for the expansion of struggles, the potential for action that it could have given rise to is now condemned by individualistic logic. Indignation becomes an end in itself rather than a means of concrete action. What happens when activism rhymes with egocentrism? What role do the different mechanisms at work in the virtual world play in allowing this shift?
