When we speak of "protest" we speak of society and the unresolved or
unaddressed complexities of social systems. Protest" is such because
its functionality is uncertain. Protest is a societal phenomenon: it is
not of an individual character and, like the treatment of systems
towards their environment (object), it simplifies the operations of the
particular by bringing them all to the plane of unaddressed aspects of
complexity. From the point of view strictly of the production of
society, observation and protest are phenomena of society itself that
belong to different spheres. From the theoretical point of view,
observation and protest are "events" into which science must enter its
differentiations, which give rise to research topics.
When, in societal phenomena, one event has the same probability of
appearing as another, the resultant is disorganization. If protest has
the same probability as consensus, then any kind of order is more
improbable. Protest is entropy. The role of digital media, in both
processes, is significant. In the first place, the narrative produced gives
rise to a kind of semantization of crowd protest, where local meaning
tends to link to a networked narrative. On the other hand, since the
philosophy of the seventeenth century, it was argued about the effects
that distance or proximity produced on morality (Hume)Digital media
act on perception by producing symbolic proximity, which also implies
moral proximity. In this way, protest flows, their narrative, become
both a principle of meaning and of intelligibility, of community.
