Between Resilience and Abandonment
Participatory budgeting (PB) is one of the most significant democratic innovations to enhance citizens’ influence on public policy, seeing renewed growth over the last decade by merging with digital participatory platforms. However, many PB programmes fail to persist beyond their initial adoption. Which political factors affect the resilience of hybrid deployments of PB through digital platforms? Local governments, and ultimately mayors, play a p…
A distorted mirror? party cohesion in political parties’ Twitterspheres
Do party crises affect the cohesion of political parties’ networks in social media? Focussing on five major Spanish political parties, we analyse the changes in the following-follower and retweet networks during the period between 2021 and 2023 using a sample of 4110 Twitter accounts that includes different strata of the political parties, from elites and intermediate elites to the party on the ground and sympathisers. Our results suggest that ne…
Democratic Disruption or Continuity? Analysis of the Decidim Platform in Catalan Municipalities
Free, open-source participatory platforms like Decidim or Consul were designed by the 15M' citizen activists in Spain. Initially implemented in Barcelona and Madrid, these platforms are spread in many countries. Castells has not examined the institutionalization of the 15M's offspring, and thus we aim to contribute by studying the rollout of the Decidim platform in Catalan municipalities. We examine its disruptive potential along three democratic…
Technology and democracy
This paper focusses on the use of technology to improve democracy, comparing the cases of Estonia and Catalonia. Both examples are closely related in their use of technology to further democratize the decision-making processes, but have opposite starting points. Estonia’s internet voting system is an offshoot of the comprehensive e-governance system developed by the Estonian government. It is meant to make it more convenient for people to vote an…

Dramaturgia e resistência
No âmbito da Filologia, em sua relação com outros saberes, conforme procedimentos metodológicos da crítica textual, buscamos construir um conhecimento a respeito de parte da escrita dramatúrgica da baiana Nivalda Costa, mulher negra que atuou de forma engajada nos campos do teatro, da literatura e da televisão, principalmente, nas décadas de 1970, 1980 e 1990. Tomamos para análise a Série de estudos cênicos sobre poder e espaço (SECPE) elaborada …
Online Deliberation and the Public Sphere
To what extent are elements of rational-critical debate present in Twitter political networks? And to what extent are the discursive practices in these networks constitutive of a public sphere online? This research presents the different phases of a coding manual we developed to assess deliberation in Twitter political networks. To exemplify the use and value of the coding manual, we manually annotated communications (N = 3657) in the Dutch MPs’ …
História e memória das resistências negras na Bahia a partir do Acervo Nivalda Costa
No lugar teórico da filologia, considerando sua prática disciplinar interativa com outros saberes, por meio dos atos de construção e de interpretação do Acervo Nivalda Costa e dos documentos que o compõem, propomos uma leitura crítica acerca da atuação dessa intelectual negra no que tange à história e à memória das resistências negras na Bahia. Palavras-chave: filologia; acervo; resistências negras; Nivalda Costa
Opinion leadership in parliamentary Twitter networks
This article seeks to test whether Twitter is contributing to the appearance of new opinion leaders or empowering already visible political leaders. The study is based on a data set spanning from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 that covers all relationships (4,516), retweets (6,045) and mentions (19,507) of Catalan parliamentarians. The data sustains that having a parliamentarian position increases the probability of being an opinion leader of …
Edição E Crítica Filológica Do Texto Teatral Censurado
Neste artigo, situamos nosso objeto de estudo, o texto teatral censurado, tomado em sua especificidade, para trazer a metodologia editorial aplicada a textos da dramaturgia baiana, indicando os modelos editorais (fac-similar, sinóptica e crítica) definidos pelo editor para apresentação dos textos que transmitem a produção dramatúrgica de Jurema Penna, e para exercício da crítica filológica
El impacto de Internet en la participación política
El objetivo de este artículo es investigar la relación entre el uso de Internet, la motivación y la participación política. En concreto nos interesa descubrir si el uso de Internet cambia la importancia que se da a la motivación política en las explicaciones clásicas de la participación. Para examinar esta cuestión, se ha empleado la encuesta 2736 del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) que versa sobre participación política y usos de In…
Online and Offline Participation at the Local Level
This article presents an analysis on local participatory experiences in Catalonia, both online and in-person. The analysis is based on a database set up by the authors. The article carries out an explanatory analysis of local participatory initiatives (on- and offline) taking into account political variables (not usually considered in this kind of analysis) and also classical socio-economic variables that characterize municipalities. Hence, we ad…
