Redes de comunicación, acción colectiva y organizaciones de ciclistas de Quito

Keywords: Collective action, Facebook, Bikers groups, social interaction, digital networks

Abstract

This research examines the political activism of the bikers groups “Carishina en bici” y “Cleta endiablada” through the analysis of their Facebook pages. Comprise the digital interactions as communication processes in the cyberspace. Through this project, we explain ¿how digital networks that bikers groups in Quito use can spawn processes of collective action? in addition, ¿how communication and political activism configure themselves inside the digital networks? Moreover, we assert that collective action is a form of interaction and communication. The Facebook pages turn in digital sites where the urban bikers transmit to the social system the actions of their disagreement, dispute and political conflict. By means of three qualitative techniques: observation non-participating, implementation of interview questionnaires and realization of a focus group, and one quantitative technique: content analysis, we approach the bikers groups under consideration. This research conclude that collective action is a place for the political activism
