SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, NETWORKS AND COUNTERPOWER
This is a bibliographic research, through which we intend to approach the concept of social movements in a network, as well as to address their role as an expression of counterpower in contemporary society (informational or networked). It is proposed to carry out a brief theoretical reconstruction on the subject, using the sociological perspective developed by Manuel Castells. It starts from the hypothesis that this new kind of social movements, in their demands for rights triggered by the negative emotion of fear, can make use of the internet and its tools to mobilize their actions and maximize their effectiveness, reaching a greater number of people. in a shorter period of time. Cyberspace, therefore, can be used as a favorable field for real conquests (from the virtual to the real).

Abstract:
This is a bibliographic research, through which we intend to approach the concept of social movements in a network, as well as to address their role as an expression of counterpower in contemporary society (informational or networked). It is proposed to carry out a brief theoretical reconstruction on the subject, using the sociological perspective developed by Manuel Castells. It starts from the hypothesis that this new kind of social movements, in their demands for rights triggered by the negative emotion of fear, can make use of the internet and its tools to mobilize their actions and maximize their effectiveness, reaching a greater number of people. in a shorter period of time. Cyberspace, therefore, can be used as a favorable field for real conquests (from the virtual to the real).
