Castells, hope and ticket-free

18 Jun

Castells’s new book is called “Networks of indignation and hope,”Participação he said in his meeting Boundaries of Thought in 2013, in Brasil.

He explained that when a fact provokes the indignation, and many feel the possibility of being together, they feel like many may think are outside the institutional framework, cool but not always morally right, there comes the hope of doing something different.

Stating that are not just a fact that triggers a process of discontent in our case we have: corruption, insecurity and inflation begins to give the guys, but why this happens.

According to Castells, is because citizens of the world does not feel represented by democratic institutions.

Can no longer appeal to the old story of real democracy, not now, networks keeps everyone informed and institutional propaganda and reality is totally transparent.

According to Castells, is against this democratic practice in which the political class appropriates a form representation, but that is not accountable in no time and justify anything based on the interests that serve the state and the political class, ie, the interests economic, technological and cultural, aaccording to their own interests.

They do not respect the citizens but would not keep blatantly chains corrution and traded today in the eyes of all the public and press.
