  • 1. Common Patterns of Global RevoltsBernardo Gutirrez /// Global Revolution Research Network

2. The spread of network movement is global 3. The explosion of network movements and revolts in Brazil and Turkey confirm that there is anew pattern of political self-organized behavior in our connected society. The dialogue and theexchange of icons, symbols and logos between Brazil and Turkey was intense. The Brazilianprotests infected the movements of the world, despite not recognize at first as part of the"global revolts".Ns podemos cheirar o gs lacrimognio do Rio e Taksim at Tahrir (texto).Acabou a modormia.

PETITIONS: reducebus fare. SLOGANS: "If the rate does not fall, the city will stop.

The relationship between technologyand social changeThe challenge is to understand 'how'the mindset, attitudes and collectiveskills allied to new technological toolscan create new ways to change theworld. 6. How connected are the brains andnetworks? How to understand the collectiveemotional moods? 7. 8 network patterns of#GlobalRevolution 8. 1.Tecnopolitics:Multi-layer actions, hybrid spaces Tactical and strategic use of digital tools andonline collective identities for collectiveorganization, communication and action. The ability of connected crowds, of brains andbodies to create networks and self-modularcollective action. Pattern of political self-organizationin the network society. It is not CLICKACTIVISM or CIBERACTIVISM.Technopolitics uses the network and theciberterritory to have effect outside and inside.It is not activism without strategy ororganization or exclusively online. 9. Mind map of tecnopoltics, by Javier Toret 10. The combination of social networks and occupation of urban space anticipatesthe media coverage and mass communication agenda 11.

Virality and emotionalityhttp://viralgezi.outliers.es/ 14. Rise of #vemprarua network (Brazil) in Twitter. 15Th - 17th juneby Fbio Malini 15. A Brazilian viral 16. 3. Transition Phase // Explosionof communication and emotionsAn exponential acceleration of activity andemotionality of the systemIn the transition is fundamental channeling theenergy and showing the desire to continuethe protest in another medium or format:15M camps, Turkey, Occupy.#ocupacabral, #OcupaCmara (Brazil). Itis the transformation of state andenvironment (the network and the streets),from the digital media to the physical.Transformation of form (to invent anorganizational structure) 17. #13J (Brazil), from violence to indignationCONVENERS: Movimento Passe Livre, Anonymous, Occupy Brasil, A Verdade Nua & Crua.PETITIONS: reduce bus fare, end of corruption. SLOGANS: If the rate does not fall, the city will stopGRAPH DETAILS Cartografa espaos hbridos (Interagentes): new autorities as OccupyBrasil,Anonymous Rio, Mes de Maio or Rede Esgoto de Televiso. Nodes that are authorities and hubs atthe same time: A verdade nua e crua, Anonymous Rio, Anonymous Brasil, Anonymous BR, Mes deMaio, Passe Livre So Paulo or Gerao Invencvel.POLICE REPRESSION: Demonstrations end with heavy police repression. 18. From indignation to empowermentPolice violence, derogatory media coverage andstablishment turn on protesters into Vandals (Brazil),Chapullers (Turkey) or Perroflautas (Spain). Outrage is thenew fuel of network revolts. Indignation turns intoempowerment and positive emotions such as hope. 19. Aggregative emotions = empowerment 20. Spanish 15M emotional analysis 21. Semantical analysis 22. Vocabulary of #ProtestosBR (Brazil)Tag cloud 13 th June - Facebook Tag cloud 20th- Facebook 23. Cartografa Afectiva (period15-25 th June) tag clouds and mostcommon hashtags of Brazilian protest ( LABIC) 24. 4. Collectives identitiesCollective identities are common to allnetworked revolts of recent years. Identitiesthat accept remixes and adaptations, such as15M or Occupy camps. In Brazil manycollective identities from Passe Livreemerged. The same with #Diren in Turkey. 25. #SomosKhaledSaid, #SomosAmarildoIn the revolts in Egypt, the death of blogger Khaled Said became a collectiveidentity in Facebook fanpages as #Somos KhlaedSaid. In Brazil, thedisappearance of the worker Amarildo Dias de Souza generated (almost) acollective identity. Left Picture: intervention in avenida Delfim Moreira, in Leblon(Rio de Janeiro) and residents of Rocinha favela with placard 'Where is Amarildo?'. 26. 5. AggregationEasy adhesion slogans ("It is not fortwenty cents, it is for rights" (Brazil),"We are not goods in the handspoliticians and Bankers" (Spain), "Weare the 99% (Occupy) become acommon divisor. The aggregation ofthe mobilization of the networksystem dismantles all sorts ofantagonism. The identity (footballfans creating the United Istanbulevent or walking together in SoPaulo), the regional (Rio and SaoPaulo forgetting grudges), ethnical(kurdish vs Turkish) or protesters vspolice alliance are examples. 27. Change of paradigmPolitical parties network (competitive)Lack of interacctions between different communities(different parties).Most of central actors are the recognized leaders.Global Revolt Networks (collaboratives):Interactions between different communities (ideological,geographical) Central actors are, in general, collective identities. 28. Political parties endogamyRelationship among PT (Brazilian labour party),PSDB (right wing Brazilian party), Anonymousand Passe Livre. A study made by LABIC provedthe endogamy of political parties in Brazil.Picture: left militants trying to partcipate in Junethe 20th protest in So Paulo. 29.

Dynamic core of the connected crowd 36. The importance of poor nodesThe study #ProtestoRj of Media Lab at UFRJ (Rio de Janeiro Federal University)about events in Rio de Janeiro evidenced that mobilization happened thanks to the"poor nodes" as @catupiry, for their ability to dialogue. Influential groups in the city -except Anonymous - were irrelevant in the first call. 37. #Globalrevolution graphs //network movements 38. Brazil - #6j - Facebook 39. Brazil - #7j - Facebook 40.
