Abstract
In this text, we introduce the structure and logic of the monograph, which consists of five dialogues with activists of Podemos («Karpeta» section) and nine commentaries in the form of debate («A des/propósito» section) on the subject of this phenomenon realized by social researchers and media professionals. In the dialogues at the beginning of this issue of Teknokultura, we talk with some of the leaders of Podemos about their plan to confront the power of the establishments’politically intensified by the social and political discontent created by the crisis. The critical essays included in the second part, analyze this phenomenon drawing from two principal lines of discussion. The first is based on the technological and mediadynamics which are part of the organization and its political project. The second responds to theoretical and political aspects, related to Podemos’ emergence and its capacity to intervenein a complex historical context, through the participatory and representative processes they have promoted.
