Abstract

The article proposes an integrative approach to online conversational spaces and their political dimension, based on the articulation of various institutional and media actors involved in the development of public debate in Cuba. Therefore, the concept of politicization of online conversations is discussed, in order to highlight the interrelation between dimensions of context and discourse in those interactions. Thus, we analyze conversations on migration issues in Cubadebate between 2013 and 2017; complementing the analysis with interviews made to directors and journalists of the site. In this way, we show how this communicative space functions simultaneously as a discussion forum, a channel of communication with the government and a vehicle for discussing the news agenda of the media. Finally, we observe that the online conversation can also be politicized from its intertwining with offline experiences and from the discursive reconfiguration of subjects existence.
