Recibido: 30 de septiembre de 2015 Aceptado: 16 de noviembre de 2015 ResumenLas deficiencias de la democracia representativa, expresadas en términos de desafección y distancia con los actores políticos tradicionales, repercuten en la demanda de estructuras más accesibles a la ciudadanía que promuevan iniciativas de transparencia y favorezcan la rendición de cuentas en el ejercicio del poder. Las tecnologías cívicas, herramientas impulsadas principalmente por organizaciones de la sociedad civil, pretenden implicar a la ciudadanía en la toma de decisiones públicas. En el siguiente artí-culo reflexionamos sobre las potencialidades y límites de estas tecnologías en el contexto de una esfera pública dinámica profundizando en los nuevos patrones de relación entre los medios de comunicación, las redes sociales y este tipo de iniciativas.Palabras clave: tecnologías cívicas; activismo de datos; ciberactivismo; esfera pública; redes sociales. The role of civic technologies in the redefinition of the public sphere AbstractThe shortcomings of representative democracy, expressed in terms of distance and disaffection with traditional political actors, have triggered the demand for new structures that are accessible to citizens and promote transparency and accountability in the exercise of power. Civic technologies, tools that are mainly driven by civil society organizations, aim to involve citizens in public decision-making processes. In the following article we reflect on the potential and limits of these technologies in a context of a dynamic public sphere with the aim of deepening the relationship between new media, social networks and civic technologies.
