Actores y actantes en los conflictos socioambientales. Las redes del caso Bagua

This article focuses on relations that digital audiences establish with the protagonists of socio-environmental conflicts in Peru. The samples are spontaneous comments in YouTube regarding the interviews about Bagua, the conflict that started in the Bagua province of the Amazon state in 2009, which keeps causing a climate of confrontation. Taking as its starting point the actor-network theory, network analysis, and data mining, the research study raises the following questions: What type of relations emerge from virtual debates? How is the agency of actors (humans) and actants (nonhumans) portrayed and valued? It is concluded that the most important relations are in connection with the victims and victimizers of the conflict, who are positively or negatively valued owing to their role in the process.
