networks and media in the 21th century
Lisbon, 26-27 January 2015
An International Conference hosted by the Catholic University of 
Portugal, in a CECC/CECL co-organization




This two-day event brings together scholars from a variety of 
disciplines such as Communication Sciences, Sociology or Political 
Science to bring an updated perspective on the ways notions of 
multitude, crowds, social movements and media intersect. It proposes to 
study social movements repertoires and how social groups are led to 
adapt, improvise and invent new ones, under the social constraints 
imposed by the use or presence of media.
