Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Latin American Studies.
Protest participation is changing with the advent of new digital media platforms and the use of the internet. This change in participation means that the choreography of a protest is not limited by hierarchical boundaries: participants on digital media platforms can become choreographers. This new group of choreographers, the multitude, can cast protest subjects in roles created horizontally in connective networks, by contrast to the vertical relationships created by collective networks and mainstream media. This study examines how Edith Espinal’s role as a New Sanctuary Movement activist was created by Facebook and Twitter through a connective network. I argue that the activist role in which Edith Espinal is cast is ratified by connective networks and is veiled by collective networks in the mainstream media. Espinal’s protest and the roles in which she is cast are essential to study today as the New Sanctuary Movement continues to grow and digital media platforms evolve, creating new avenues for participation in connective networks.
