“…The public sphere is a rich ground for studying public opinion. In particular, the word-of-mouth within the public sphere helps researchers understand how opinions spreads (Haralabopoulos & Anagnostopoulos, 2015;Golan & Himelboim, 2015;Jalilvand, 2012;Jansen, Zhang, Sobel, & Chowdury, 2009;Xu, Park, & Park, 2015;Xu, Park, Kim, & Park, 2016), and how shared narratives and identities connect the public (Papacharissi & de Fatima Oliveira, 2012). In this paper, we turn to discourses on the public sphere for another type of insight.…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oThis paper examines international relations as perceived by the public in their social media conversations. It examines over 1.8 billion Facebook postings in English and 51 million Chinese posts on Weibo, to reveal the relations among nations as expressed in social media conversations. It argues that social media represent a transnational electronic public sphere, in which public discussions reveal characteristics of international relations as perceived by a foreign public. The findings show that the international relations in social media postings match the core-peripheral structure proposed in the World Systems Theory. Additionally, the relations are associated with the amount of news coverage and public attention a country receives. Overall, the study demonstrates the value of webometric data in revealing how international relations are perceived by average citizens.

“…A título de exemplo, nas áreas de política e administração pública, essas mídias têm o poder de disseminar opiniões que podem resultar tanto em melhorias nos serviços públicos quanto em protestos motivados pela insatisfação dos cidadãos com os governos (PAPACHARISSI; OLIVEIRA, 2012;O'CALLAGHAN et al, 2014).…”

“…Estudos recentes demonstram que as mídias sociais foram utilizadas por cidadãos de vários países na articulação de manifestações contra seus governos, como a Primavera Árabe, que foi marcada por protestos e conflitos no Oriente Médio e no norte da África, destacando-se os conflitos ocorridos no Egito e na Síria (CHEN, 2011;GLASS;COLBAUGH, 2012;LIM, 2012;PAPACHARISSI;OLIVEIRA, 2012;O'CALLAGHAN et al, 2014). Em junho de 2013, uma série de protestos também foi organizada no Brasil por meio das mídias sociais, levando às ruas milhões de pessoas em todo o país.…”

Resumo E ste estudo procurou identificar como a análise de sentimento, baseada em textos extraídos de mídias sociais, pode ser um instrumento de mensuração da opinião pública sobre a atuação do governo, de forma a contribuir para a avaliação da administração pública. Trata-se de um estudo aplicado, interdisciplinar, exploratório, qualitativo e quantitativo. Foram revisadas as principais formulações teóricas e conceituais acerca do tema e realizadas demonstrações práti-cas, utilizando-se uma ferramenta de mineração de opinião que proporcionou precisão satisfatória no processamento de dados. Para fins de demonstração, foram selecionados temas que motivaram a realização da onda de protestos que envolveu milhões de pessoas no Brasil em junho de 2013. Foram coletadas, processadas e analisadas, aproximadamente, 130 mil mensagens postadas no Facebook e no Twitter sobre esses temas em dois períodos distintos. Por meio dessa investigação, observou-se que a análise de sentimento pode revelar a opinião polarizada dos cidadãos quanto à atuação do governo. his study sought to identify as sentiment analysis, based on texts taken social media can be a measuring instrument of public opinion on the government's performance in order to contribute to the evaluation of public administration.

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the geographic location of protestors attending demonstrations in the 2013 Vinegar protests in Brazil and the geographic location of users that tweeted the protests. We explored the overlap between different sources of geographic information from Twitter -namely geocode, hashtag, and user profileprovided by multiple samples drawn from a population of three million tweets related to the events and compared the data to the location of protestors attending the street demonstrations. We adjusted the data for the uneven distribution of the population and performed geospatial and spatial clustering analysis over sets of spatial locations. We found evidence for the hypotheses that users tweeting the protests are geographically distant from the street protests and that users from geographically isolated areas rely on Twitter hashtags to remotely engage in the demonstrations.
