description In this article I present the results of a multi-sited, collaborative and experimental ethnographic study that took place between 2012 and 2014. It was focused the communication practices of the organization Sons and Daughters for Identity and Justice and Against Forgetting and Silence (H.I.J.O.S. in Spanish). In particular, the analysis in this article focuses on the characteristics of the cyber activism of the Bogota based chapter of H.I.J.O.S. as an example of the politicized appropriation of distinctive online platforms by this group to share content, coordinate activities and for the resolution and transformation of internal conflicts. The analysis, developed in dialogue with key concepts from the anthropology of virtual worlds, attempts to promote reflection on the necessary displacements and the challenges of ethnographic fieldwork, in the context of the study of cyber activism in the contemporary world.

En este artículo se presentan algunos resultados de un trabajo etnográfico colaborativo, multisituado y experimental que tuvo lugar durante los años 2012 y 2014, y que giró en torno a las prácticas comunicativas de la organización Hijos e Hijas por la Identidad y la Justicia contra el Olvido y el Silencio (H.I.J.O.S.). En particular, se analizan las características del ciberactivismo del nodo de H.I.J.O.S. en Bogotá y se ilustra cómo la apropiación politizada de distintas plataformas de Internet por parte de este colectivo favorece la circulación de contenidos, la coordinación de acciones e incluso la transformación constructiva de sus conflictos internos. El análisis, desarrollado en diálogo con ciertas claves interpretativas derivadas de la antropología de los mundos virtuales, pretende además promover una reflexión acerca de los desplazamientos necesarios y los retos del trabajo etnográfico, de cara al estudio del ciberactivismo en el mundo contemporáneo. Neste artigo apresentam-se alguns resultados de um trabalho etnográfico colaborativo, multisituado e experimental que teve lugar durante os anos 2012 e 2014, e que girou em torno às práticas comunicativas da organização Filhos e Filhas pela Identidade e a Justiça contra o Olvido e o Silêncio (H.I.J.O.S.). Em particular, se analisam as características do ciberativismo de H.I.J.O.S. em Bogotá e se ilustra como a apropriação politizada de diversas plataformas de Internet por este grupo favorece a circulação de conteúdos, a coordenação de ações e até mesmo a transformação construtiva dos seus conflitos internos. A análise desenvolvida em diálogo com certas chaves interpretativas derivadas da antropologia dos mundos virtuais pretende também promover uma reflexão sobre as mudanças necessárias e os desafios do trabalho etnográfico de frente ao estudo do ciberativismo no mundo contemporâneo.
