A techno-political look at the first year of Podemos. Six Hypotheses
Abstract
The eruption of Podemos in 2014 has radically transformed the Spanish political scene. Its impact can be framed in a context of economic crisis, increasing intolerance towards corruption and a changing cultural landscape after the effects of the 15M network-movement. In this essay we highlight some aspects of Podemos in relation to its 15M and Latin-American ADN, such as its strategic occupation of mass media and digital social networks. We look at Podemos exponential growth by focusing on less visible but key elements of its political and communicative emergence.Downloads
