“…We note that our findings also show that, aside from age-based inequalities, new forms probably do not yet change the wellknown divides in participation mainly associated with resource-related determinants. This said, as the evidence remains mixed (Krueger, 2006;Schlozman et al, 2012;Oser et al, 2013;Feezell, 2016), and contextual factors may have an important role to play, the jury is still out on whether digital media will eventually be able to ameliorate participatory inequalities.…”

“…Future studies should pay particular attention into how citizens with different activist profiles and from different age groups may be combining different modes or forms in their repertoires of engagement (see e.g. Oser et al, 2013;Oser, 2016). Similarly, it is important to examine these processes dynamically, through longitudinal research designs, to observe the changing nature of repertoire adoption.…”

The repertoire of political participation in democratic societies is expanding rapidly and covers such different activities as voting, demonstrating, volunteering, boycotting, blogging, and flash mobs. Relying on a new method for conceptualizing forms and modes of participation we show that a large variety of creative, expressive, individualized, and digitally enabled forms of participation can be classified as parts of the repertoire of political participation. Results from an innovative survey with a representative sample of the German population demonstrate that old and new forms are systematically integrated into a multi-dimensional taxonomy covering (1) voting, (2) digitally networked participation, (3) institutionalized participation, (4) protest, (5) civic participation, and (6) consumerist participation. Furthermore, the antecedents of consumerist, civic, and digitally networked participation, are very similar to those of older modes of participation such as protest and institutionalized participation. Whereas creative, expressive, and individualized modes appear to be expansions of protest activities, digitally networked forms clearly establish a new and distinct mode of political participation that fits in the general repertoire of political participation.

“…Outro ponto importante que destaca a diferença do on-line em relação ao off-line é a centralidade do aspecto individual e personalizado da atividade política na internet, o qual, apesar de presente em muitas modalidades de ação off-line, não se configura como uma de HANSEN, J; FERREIRA, M. A. S. Da polarização à busca pelo equilíbrio: as relações entre internet e participação política 15 suas características definidoras. Assim, a participação on-line pode ser entendida em função do indivíduo, uma vez que, principalmente nos casos em que ocorrem ações em redes sociais, o primeiro destinatário da ação é a rede pessoal, de forma que o governo figura em segundo plano -embora, na maioria das vezes, o governo seja o principal destino da ação (THEOCHARIS, 2015;TUFEKCI, 2014;OSER;HOOGHE;MARIEN, 2013).…”

RESUMOO Estado e a sociedade civil possuem uma relação muitas vezes tensionada e conflituosa, apesar de fundamental no contexto democrático ocidental. Estas instâncias, por sua vez, têm encontrados inúmeros desafios em função dos impactos da popularização do acesso à internet. Este artigo se situa nesta interconexão entre internet e democracia e objetiva analisar como a literatura sobre participação política tem abordado essa relação, apresentando as principais perspectivas teóricas a esse respeito. Assim, mostramos como as perspectivas iniciais eram mais estanques e polarizadas, bem como os movimentos no campo para que se adotasse uma abordagem mais flexível e complexa, que leva em conta as diversas características individuais, contextuais e da tecnologia em si, importantes para se pensar o impacto da rede nas atividades políticas off-line, mas, também, o surgimento de um ativismo estritamente on-line. Portanto, a literatura tem considerado que a internet alcançou um papel central para o entendimento do ativismo político, principalmente de protesto, a qual atua sobre a sua organização, suas formas e modalidades. Por outro lado, considera-se que a internet apresenta empecilhos em relação às possibilidade de controle de dados, privacidade e vigilância. Palavras-chave: Internet. Democracia. Participação política. ABSTRACTState and civil society have a tension relationship, confflited many times, but fundamental in the ocidental democratic context.

“…Many studies investigating online and offline participation show that online participation is a distinct type of participation [47]. People leveraging technology for participation are empirically shown to differ regarding age [3,47], gender, and education [25] from those participation via traditional and offline channels. In this research, we focus on computers and mobile phones as channels to communicate and interact with government.…”
