“…Because it allows for the construction of programmatic algorithmic architectures capable of operating with languages such as Spanish, Portuguese and others, researchers can make critical decisions in terms of the computational processing of the data. Following ethical guidelines and best research practices suggested in previous studies exploring Twitter data, this study safeguarded users' privacy, did not disclose personal identification, such as usernames or aliases, and sought authorization when citing entire tweets (Bergis;Summers;Mitchell, 2018;Trindade, 2020).…”

“…This is particularly relevant considering that in Brazil, Twitter's trending topics are frequently dominated by digital influencers and automated profiles, or bots, deployed by supporters of the far-right. Together with the growth in social media usage in Brazil, hate speech and attacks against women and LGBTQAI+ persons have increased dramatically in recent years and months (Trindade, 2020). Anti-feminist, anti-rights and racist discourses in social media have abounded since 2018, making social media "a laboratory of unregulated forms of violence and conservative pedagogies" (Sivori; Zilli, 2022, P.11;).…”

This article examines the practice of naming anti-racist women intellectuals as a form of feminist digital activism in Brazil, in tweets referencing Carolina Maria de Jesus and Lélia González. The analysis combines the tools of feminist decolonial digital humanities, intellectual history and what has been called “distant reading”, in order to study the act of naming as a set of techno-discursive practices. It addresses the transnational circulation of tweets, hashtag emergence and relevance, users most frequently mentioned and the topics with greater traction in social networks. The main conclusion is that digital practices of naming Brazilian anti-racist feminist intellectuals on Twitter are powerful tools for creating and mobilising social meanings that: (1) subvert global and intellectual canons and hierarchies; 2) take advantage of the technical possibilities of digital platforms, but instead of privileging advertising and self-promotion, they go against platform determinism and stress an egalitarian logic; and (3) form and maintain collective identities and solidify counterpublics.

“…Debido a que permite construir arquitecturas algorítmicas programáticas capaces de operar con lenguajes como el español, portugués y otros, los investigadores pueden tomar decisiones críticas en cuanto al procesamiento computacional de los datos. Siguiendo las pautas éticas y las mejores prácticas de investigación sugeridas en estudios anteriores que exploran los datos de Twitter, el estudio protegió la privacidad de los usuarios, no reveló su identidad personal, a través de nombres de usuario ni alias y solicitó autorización para citar tweets completos (Bergis;Summers;Mitchell, 2018;Trindade, 2020).…”

Resumen Este artículo examina la práctica de nombrar a mujeres intelectuales antirracistas como una forma de activismo digital feminista en Brasil, en tuits que hacen referencia a Carolina Maria de Jesus y Lélia González. El análisis combina las herramientas de las humanidades digitales feministas decoloniales, la historia intelectual y lo que se ha denominado “lectura a distancia”, para estudiar el acto de nombrar como un conjunto de prácticas tecno-discursivas. Aborda la circulación transnacional de tuits, la emergencia y relevancia de los hashtags, los usuarios más mencionados y los temas con mayor tracción en las redes sociales. La principal conclusión es que las prácticas digitales de nombrar intelectuales feministas antirracistas brasileñas en Twitter son herramientas poderosas para crear y movilizar significados sociales que: (1) subvierten los cánones y jerarquías globales e intelectuales; 2) aprovechan las posibilidades técnicas de las plataformas digitales, pero en lugar de privilegiar la publicidad y la autopromoción van contra el determinismo de las plataformas y subrayan una lógica igualitaria; y (3) forman y mantienen identidades colectivas y solidifican contrapúblicos.

“…Borysovych et al (2020) investigated the representational systems of the statues that were toppled and, thus, were concerned with examining BLM activists' performances and recording them photographically, offering BLM activists a vehicle for the battle against the legacy of slavery. Trindade (2020) suggested that accounts celebrating Afro hairstyles reflect pertinent strategic orientations that counteract Brazil's ingrained gender-based racism, aiming to protest the hegemonic Brazilian norm of "whiteness" and communicate a new vision of black aesthetics as a source of legitimate racial identities. The label of Cluster #4 is related to Foucault's discourse analysis, which is receiving increasing attention.…”

As critical discourse analysis/studies move into the second decade of the 21st century, there is a need to reflect on their evolution and envision their future development. In this paper, CiteSpace and VOSviewer are employed to gain holistic insights into CDA/CDS research and capture the recent research foci. The Web of Science core collection database is a prominent resource for collecting data. It was found that (1) CDA has broadly absorbed the theories of other disciplines and increasingly developed into a super-discipline; (2) corpus building, the advent of computer technology, and the development of linguistic analysis software have provided effective analytical tools for critical discourse research, making it possible for overall and partial analyses to complement each other and for complementary qualitative and quantitative approaches to be used to enhance the thoroughness and precision of research; and (3) the research methods for conducting CDA tend to be diverse and comprehensive.
