Bubbles, deep mediatization and disputes in the field of media in Brazil

Abstract

This article explores the information and opinion bubbles of the Brazilian political far-right, in a descriptive analytical dimension, from the Brazilian context of January 8, 2023. The central idea of the work is to systematize the processes of formation and maintenance of bubbles by the political agents of the ultra-right and their strategies of dispute for the position of mediators of reality to the detriment of the vehicles of professional journalism, based on the specific modalities of the field of media (Bourdieu, 1997), pointed out by Rodrigues (1990): the pedagogical modality, neutralization, objectification, seduction, and simulation.
