Desigualdad comunicativa en el repertorio discursivo de la acción colectiva: El caso de #YoSoy132

Abstract

The article analyzes how communicative inequality mediates the discourse associated with collective action. Based on the analysis of the Mexican #YoSoy132 (2012), it describes how, in a context characterized by a high media concentration and a particular articulation between the dominant media system and the hegemonic political parties, the democratization of communication becomes a main claim. The text shows how #YoSoy132 sets relevant discursive links between communicative inequality and social inequality in general. Online social networks are considered as a central resource for overcoming an unequal communicational order, but also some risks and challenges associated with the use of these technological platforms and with the centrality of the communicative dimension are identified. The article concludes that communicative inequality is multidimensional and that its centrality in the discursive repertoire of the social movement #YoSoy132 has significant consequences for collective action and even for the continuity of the movement.

"La libertad de expresión requiere que los medios de comunicación estén abiertos a todos sin discriminación y que no haya grupos o individuos excluidos del acceso a tales medios" (De Luca, 2015, p. 299).…”

A Successful Strategy of Political Party Campaign Ahead of Election in Developed Countries

“…Digitalization has weakened the role of institutions such as the state, political parties, and organizational news outlets (Mancini, 2020). Online social networks are the main source of overcoming unequal communication arrangements (Bacallao-Pino, 2015). The role of the Internet is very significant by mobilizing grassroots and civil society networks in realizing participatory democracy (Savyasaachi & Kumar, 2017).…”
