Cyberactivism researchers:



>From Brazil:



Henrique Antoun <hantoun at gmail.com> - researcher from UFRJ who specifically
study social media as a tool for mobilization and political action. I think
his approach is focused on Negri and Delleuze ideas.



Sergio Amadeu <samadeu at gmail.com> - researcher from Sao Paulo. He not only
is a researcher but is also a cyberactivist.
