2. RE-ACT investigates
social representations of CMCs
in Mozambique
by different social actors

3. 241 interviews
110:50:49 hours
316 pictures

4. What do local people think about CMCs in
Mozambique?
Is there any misalignment among the social
representations of the different social
groups?

14. Being online linked with increasing social
relations and opportunities for self-expression
(personally and professionally).

15. Internet as:
• a protected place where to meet friends;
• a boundless frightening space where you can
meet others.

16. Myth of a new representation of citizenship:
• more endorsed by whom experienced the
transition to the digital world;
• new users have a more “conservative” one.

17. Discourses of groups are a way to
explain their ways of socially being.

33. What are the barriers to ICTs
adoption (at the level of people’s
perception)?
Which are the contraddictions in the
discourses that can lead to those
barriers?
Are there (and which are) the
synergies RC/TC (at the level of
people’s perception)?
