This line of work tests models of construction of new forms of intermediation which can break away from the dichotomies which have traditionally constricted the operation of museum institutions, in an experiment of a political nature, since it is related to the re-definition of public society, of trhe contemporary conditions of cultural production and of the new urban rights and governance. The above concepts are related to a new statute and definition of the public, which has nothing to do with management and administration of State resources, but with examining the place and the notions of the commons, understood as that which articulates the formation of post-traditional and post-identity community and allows the redefinition of the role of the museum not as a public institution derived from Enlightened reformism, but as an institution of the commons.
Social networks and human rights. From the Arab Spring to Spain's May 15th Movement
Type of activity: Seminar
Dates: March 30, 31 and April 1, 2012
Place: Nouvel Building, Auditorium 200

The new technologies and the social networks are giving rise to a new media panorama and are acting as tools for the condemnation of human rights violations and news censorship. These networks, moreover, are helping coalesce and at the same time disseminate various forms of social mobilization. From the war in Iraq to Wikileaks, from the Arab uprising to Spain's May 15th, Internet has made the producers and the consumers of information turn into one and the same. This seminar, in view of recent social events, attempts to analyse this paradigm. |
