Networks and Cities: reflections on citizenship

Abstract

The paper discusses the implications networks in the contemporary world of new spaces of action. Social life collectivized by networks is organized in other ways. The study consider the concept of citizenship understood in a new team dynamic by analyzing the influence of networks reflected in the power of speech, thought and interconnection of social relations. The current set of these expressions of collective behavior defines the contours of our meaning of reconfiguration in various spheres of society: the representation spaces; in the way the collective relates within the cities; labor relations. Citizenship worked in the context of networks and in a culture increasingly mediated by virtual relationships brings a new kind of analytical framework, giving us clues that citizenship is reconfiguring its bases, leading to perceptions of a new social protagonist. The citizenship in the age of networks works under the sign of collaborative logic, sharing and self-narrative of representation. These new experiences make us wonder about the meaning of a still training citizenship setting up.
