Abstract

From the global protest demonstrations against the climate change, which constituted a common cause, the question that arises is to what extent do we observe the emergency of a "common space" for what contribute the communicational and mobilization possibilities, brought by digital connections. The concepts of topic and metatopic common space (Taylor), and the "atopic" relations (Di Felice) in digital contexts, are examined and applied to the manifestations. It is considered that there is the formation of a "joint attention" and a global common cause. Digital networks played an important role in the mobilizations, which established a "topical common space" coexisting with atopic digital relations. Nowadays, there are conditions for the formation of the common, with network activism intervention, which allows to think the "common space" - and this may be the main contribution of this paper - in a relational ecology.
