Abstract

The article discusses how the information and communication technologies enable innovative cyberactivism of political attitudes. It uses, methodologically, the prospect of post-structuralist philosophy and sociology with observation, to analyze the movement rooted in their tactics of appropriation of technological apparatus for cultural production. It conceptualized the object of study as a rhizome-rooted in the sub-cities deterritorialized in the process of collective agency of enunciation: the communication strategies of a group-not subjectet to high culture power, as a minority policy that enables the invention of flight lines, escaping the constraints of power. It treats the phenomenon as a glocalization (global and local), a cyberespacial nomadism, allowing the emergence of new subjectivities and considers the glocal ingrained as a hybrid that produces singularities.

Keywords: cyberactivism; glocalization; information technologies; cyberespacial nomadism; hybrid glocal.
