Leer el activismo: educación, saberes y dilemas en los procesos de cambio social
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This document is an original academic teaching resource developed for the Master’s level course Activismo comunicacional y Medios ciudadanos within the official postgraduate programme Máster Universitario en Comunicación y Educación en la Red (UNED, Spain). The text offers a pedagogical and epistemological framework for critically examining media activism and processes of social change. Rather than approaching activism solely as a normative or strategic practice, it proposes reading it as a site of knowledge production, ethical tension and public responsibility. Drawing on debates on the public sphere, framing processes, and the formation of judgment, the document encourages students to distinguish between visibility and understanding, mobilisation and knowledge, commitment and critical distance. Conceived as a reflective companion to course readings and case studies, the resource aims to foster epistemic responsibility, intellectual prudence and ethical awareness in higher education contexts, contributing to the education of judgment in contemporary digital public life.
