Abstract

In this article we approach the link between political subjectivity and digital public expression among civil society actors in Guanajuato, Mexico. We understand political subjectivity as the ways of assuming oneself as a political subject. We consider three dimensions: action, relationship with others and communication. The discussion on digital public expression is framed there. Methodologically, we worked on a qualitative study, with a biographical-narrative orientation, through 12 semi-structured interviews with civil society actors. We identified key elements of their trajectories, allowing us to observe the ways in which they have been constructed themselves as political subjects, based on some event that motivated them to seek social change and that articulates the individual with the collective, as well as the ways in which this translates into actions, relationships, and practices of public expression. Finally, we identified a disenchantment with the phenomena of disinformation and polarization that have impoverished public debate. The study contributes to the analysis of the relationship between the individual and the collective, and details the tension between these two dimensions and its implications in the public space.
