El estudio de la participación digital en la cultura. Hacia una propuesta analítica para el escenario cubano.

This works seeks to contribute to the understanding of the digital participation in the culture in the Cuban scenario. To do so, the main outcomes from a qualitative study on a concrete participation experience in Cuba are displayed and analyzed based on the Grounded theory: a free software community. The research results allow to conceptualize the digital participation in the culture just in the way they occur in Cuba, i.e., a strongly contextualized process depending on the institutional environment where it is being developed. This digital participation enables a more comprehensive and productive understanding of the culture under a theoretical and conceptual view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
