Resumen:
Sumario:Technology is our new magic, but relevance lies in otherness cultures: Orientals, indigenous peoples, Africans, women, environment, new sexualities, migrants, the outraged. Social and public innovation does not reside in the techonological self, but it appears in the form of narratives and practices from those otherness identities. By using such concepts as experience (Baricco, 2008), in- etween spaces (Bhabha, 2002), mediations (Martín-Barbero, 1987), hybrid cultures (García Canclini, 1989), the radical media (Downey, 2001), citizen driven media (Rodríguez, 2001) and narratives (Rincón, 2006), it is shown that social and political innovation lies neither in technologies nor in contents but in the expressive activism, in the narrative forms of identity and in the communities collaborative productions. In this paper I argue in favour of the collaborative-activist narratives, as a tactic for innovation in citizen driven forms of communication: the idea is for each community to provide itself with the media and the aesthetics it needs.
