In Democracy Reloaded, Cristina Flesher Fominaya tells the story of
one of the most influential social movements of recent times:
Spain's "Indignados" or "15-M" movement that took to the streets of
Spain on May 15, 2011 with the rallying cry "Real Democracy Now! We
are not commodities in the hands of bankers and politicians!" Based
on access to key participants in the 15-M movement and Podemos and
extensive participant observation, Flesher Fominaya tells a
provocative and original story of this remarkable movement, its
emergence, evolution, and impact. In so doing, she argues that in
times of global economic and democratic crisis, movements organized
around autonomous network logics can build and sustain strong
movements in the absence of formal organizations, strong
professionalized leadership, and the ability to attract external
resources. Further, she challenges explanations for success that
rest on the mobilizing power of social media. Through in-depth
analysis of the month long occupation of Madrid's Puerta del Sol,
and subsequent 15-M mobilization, Democracy Reloaded shows how the
experience of the protest camp revitalized pre-existing networks,
forged bonds of solidarity, and gave birth to a new movement that
went on to influence public debate and the political agenda, in
Spain and beyond.
