| description | This article seeks to perform two theoretical movements: locate the shortcomings of critics who refuse to think of the internet as a public sphere, and suggest a philosophical and sociological framework in which those shortcomings can be overcome. Against authors that gives privilege to consensus and rationality as key elements on thinking about public spheres, it will be argued that the internet potential as a political tool can be better understood and analyzed by a theoretical framework informed by Clifford Geertz’s ontological anti-essencialism, Gabriel Tarde’s neomonadological pan-relationism, Richard Rorty’s antifoundationalism and Chantal Mouffes’s ideas of “radical democracy” and “agonistic pluralism”. The aim is to the restate the importance of awarding conceptual positivity to passions when it comes to political affairs, and to affirm the need of making proper room to their expression in public spheres. |

O presente artigo procura realizar um duplo movimento teórico: o primeiro consiste em localizar as insuficiências dos críticos que se recusam a enxergar a internet como uma esfera pública; o segundo, numa proposta de adoção de um instrumental filosófico que nos habilite a superar tais deficiências. Contra os teóricos que privilegiam o consenso e a racionalidade como elementos centrais à reflexão sobre a esfera pública, pretendo sugerir que as potencialidades da internet podem ser melhor compreendidas dentro de um horizonte conceitual informado pelo antiessencialismo ontológico de Clifford Geertz, pela neomonadalogia panrelacional de Gabriel Tarde, pelo antifundacionismo de Richard Rorty e pelas propostas de “democracia radical” e “pluralismo agonístico” de Chantal Mouffe. O objetivo é resgatar a importância de conferir positividade às paixões em matéria de política, ressaltando a necessidade de franquear espaços à sua mobilização. 2012-02-15 2022-03-18T16:17:22Z 2022-03-18T16:17:22Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/4836 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61345 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/4836/4083 Copyright (c) 2012 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 40 (2011) 1984-0241 0101-3459 |
