Abstract

The present work presents discussions on history, memory and digital cultural practices, taking into account the impacts of the historical development of "cyberspace" in the era without maps, where denunciations of human rights violations began to break their geographical borders in Brazil, due to the networks available on the internet. This historical context was fundamental to the formation of a "participatory culture" of access to the Inter-American Justice in Brazil in action and movement, whose virtual denunciation of Human Rights violations, in particular, in the Damião Ximenes-Lopes case, generated the first conviction of Brazil in the Court American Convention on Human Rights.
