DESCRIPTION:Laura Perez\, Pompeu Fabra University\, Barcelona\nSocial mov
 ements and digital media: a case study of digital activism in Tunisia\nT
 he ongoing Arab Spring Revolutions since 2011 have generated a growing d
 ialogue about the role of social media as a tool for political mobilizat
 ions. While there is a large body of literature on the topic\, this pres
 entation takes as its starting point the digital activism in Tunisia dur
 ing the months that preceded the uprising in Tunisia in order to map the
  network on Twitter before the 17th of December\, when the Arab Spring s
 tarted in Tunisia. Some of the main results of this analysis show that t
 hey were structured through dense informal networks on social media and 
 they used this platforms for geared toward developing\, sustaining and\,
  sharing collective identities in order to fight against the regime of B
 en Ali.
