Abstract

Nowadays, the connection between cyberspace and the society has an effect on local and national protests and it leads to dramatic changes in official cultures. By this, we mean that social networks have become toolkits for social movements through which the protesters define and express their identity. In the absence of concrete political achievements, these movements gain access to the domain of public culture in order to emerge influential through widespread attraction of advocates. they use cyberspace and social networks to form identity interactions in the society. With the use of comparative method, This survey attempts to provide an answer to the question that how social networks and new social movements are interconnected. A study of Iran’s social and political developments of 2009 and England’s developments of 2012 reveals that new social movements with an emphasis on identity interactions try to use social networks to overcome the social authority of dominant cultural pattern, organize social movements and expand civic protests.
