Gjesteforelesning med Ezequiel Ramón Pinat

Forskingsgruppa for publikumsstudier inviterer til gjesteforelesing med Ezequiel Ramón Pinat med tittelen "Activism, Social Media and daily press: what’s missing in the middle?”

Main content

Pinat er Ph.kandidat ved Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), og skal vere her i veke 42 som del av ERASUMUS. Han arbeidar med ei avhandling om korleis sosiale medier og pressa dekkjer sosiale protestrørsler, med fokus på The Platform of Those Affected by Mortgage (PAH). 

PAH kjempar for at folk skal kunne behalde heimane sine under dei harde husleigelovene i Spania, og har med suksess blokkert hundrevis av utkastingar som fylgje av forsinka betaling. Leiaren, Ada Colau, som kallar bankane “kriminelle” har lukkast etablere ein stor organisasjon og er no velkjend i den spanske offentligheita.

 

Abstract for forelesinga:

We are used to hear that Occupy Wall Street, Arabs springs and the Indignados 15M fostered a modern age with Social Media mobilization. But what does it mean? To what extent have they triggered new ways to carry out a citizenry protest or, by contrast, do they just reproduce old activist patterns? 

The PAH platform, aligned with anti-austerity European measures organizations, fights for strengthening the fragile housing right in Spain. After the crisis of 2010, banks became the most prominent real estate agencies. Their influence on political parties and newspapers have determined housing bubble treatment. In this case, Social Media became a real alternative to spread a counter-image about this subject
