“…Nonetheless, this platform has turned out to become a critical forum because of politicians' intense posting and the news media that it triggers. The use of Twitter had steered candidate endorsement on other platforms during the 2014 presidential elections (Ortiz et al, 2017). A new feature of the social media activities of users identified with the 'new' right relates to the assemblage of unrelated concepts and images, the mechanised spread of memes and extensive use of photo montages (Ribeiro et al, 2016).…”

This research performs a thematic analysis on tweets published during Brazil's 2018 elections that mentioned communism. The idea was to identify the linkages to other underlying themes that emerged during what we saw as the Twitter 'virality of communism' and interpret them considering the backdrop of anti-communist discourses in the country. The results show that political polarisation, distrust of democracy, criticism of the left and praise of militarism and religion are the most recurrent themes. We conclude by situating the virality of the term 'communism' as a process that follows a context of disinformation and hopelessness, but which also relates to the legitimate concerns of Brazilian voters.

“…Além disso, tem se estudado o Twitter por possibilitar discussões que atravessam outras lógicas midiáticas e agendas, não competindo diretamente com a televisão, mas reforçando as inter-relações dessas duas mídias. Ainda que a televisão, no contexto dos debates televisivos, seja um canal central, o Twitter ganha papel inovador pela possibilidade de incluir as vozes de outros agentes, que podem atingir diferentes objetivos, seja comentar, interpretar ou discutir elementos usados durante a transmissão (ORTIZ et al, 2017;GIGLIETTO & SELVA, 2014).…”

O presente artigo possui o intento de refletir, através de uma revisão de literatura, sobre os conceitos de democracia digital e as novas tecnologias da comunicação e informação como fatores potencialmente democráticos e influentes no comportamento político. Nesse sentido, busca-se analisar, sob o olhar do neoinstucionalismo, o papel das mídias sociais, em especial o Twitter, como canal comunicativo informal de desintermediação entre representante e representado na atividade parlamentar no Brasil. A partir dessa ótica, e utilizando-se de dados oriundos do Twitter, objetiva-se entender como as relações mediadas pelas mídias sociais atuam como possível extensão do mandato dos parlamentares enquanto atores políticos. Os resultados indicam que a atuação de parlamentares nas mídias sociais digitais como expressão da comunicação interativa desintermediada evidencia-se como fenômeno de comunicação política com reflexos que indicam, ainda que minimamente, uma mudança no comportamento dos representantes e no seu agir político. No contexto da CPI da COVID-19, houve aumentos consideráveis na média de interações por meio de ferramentas do Twitter por parlamentares. Por outro lado, observou-se que parte dos senadores que compunham a CPI da Covid-19 mantiveram inexpressiva atuação na plataforma.

There is a group of political tweeters that nobody is studying: the detached

Through a review of the literature, the present article outlines the interaction forms that happen on Twitter when the participation is political, intending to show that the conversations made by the most significant collective on Twitter which is formed by ordinary users that post tweets 24/7 any given day with the sole intention to make public its political views, are invisible for the social studies. The actual political conversations attended by the social studies are related to parties, civic organizations, street manifestation, social activism, or some political manifestation that requires organization. The subject is important because these ordinary users with no agendas related to the formal or informal forms of political conversations known by the social studies form the biggest sector in the political social network par excellence, and no one is studying them. We propose the adjective ‘detached’ users to refer to these Twitter users.
