Abstract

The dissertation "Digital Activism and Education: the voices of the network occupying presential spaces aims on describing how actions, coordinated by black activists bloggers can be a too to strengthen afro -brazilian ethnicity in school area. To report the turbans and Abayomi dolls worksho,t he ethnography description of the workshops will be used as methodology in a school in the town of Mesquita/RJ. It is an ethnography of the school space that, according to André (2005), " ethnography research seeks the formulation of hypothesis, concepts, abstractions". I take cyberspace as an actant, as described by Rifiotis (2016). As theoretical assumptions, I highlight the Castells'(2013) contributions and Primo(2013) to think about digital Activism. For reflection on the relationship between social movements and education, Gohn (2001) and the importance of body and aesthetic in the construction of a positive identity for black children in school, Gomes (2003). I conclude that digital Activism has an educational potential as it enables the diffusion of information on the issues related to the valorisation and strengthening of the black identity, as well as, it makes possible the extension of these actions in face to face space. Attending the school's objectives of maintaining with community.
