On the way to un-cover the obvious: about the digital swarm

Abstract

The social construction of space implies a process of constant resemantization that is configured under the aegis of the dominant culture or of alternative / alterative life forms in dialectical play. In other words, the social relations operating in each society and historical time are objectified in a plot of heterogeneous and even opposite voices. This process affects both the physical space or territory and the digital space or swarm. The purpose of this article is to confront some hypotheses about the digital swarm from Sociology, Philosophy, Cultural Studies and Geocriticism, in order to problematize or deconstruct certain beliefs about this new human sphere of circulation of discourses and, consequently, of identity determination and indeterminacy.
