Abstract
Nos últimos anos, novas formas de socialização da atividade política através das mídias sociais têm encontrado expressão em mobilizações coletivas. O artigo examina as recentes revoltas no Brasil, apresentando os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada entre Junho de 2013 e Junho de 2015, com foco nos atores envolvidos, suas razões para participarem e a continuidade de sua ação. Três instrumentos de pesquisa foram utilizados no estudo: um mapeamento inicial das mídias sociais, um breve questionário on-line e algumas entrevistas com ativistas. Os resultados mostram a existência de uma "lógica conectiva" nas redes sociais e ilustram que o que atraiu as massas em junho de 2013 foi principalmente o "evento" de um protesto. No entanto, verifica-se que o engajamento político dos jovens está aumentando aos poucos, entre grupos que se envolveram durante os protestos e continuam motivados pela ideia da resistência política até os dias de hoje.
Highlights
Over the last decade, it has been pointed out that forms of social interaction and reproduction, which characterise social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, offer numerous opportunities for pluralism in public debates and enhance so-called participatory democracy (REEDY & WELLS, 2009; DIJK, 2012)
The pattern of connective action is absolutely dependent on media networks and the possibilities ICT offers to the users. In this network mode, according to the authors, technology itself takes the role of established political organisations, with broader results: compared to many conventional social movement protests with identifiable membership organisations leading the way under common banners and collective identity frames, these more personalised, digitally mediated collective action formations have frequently been larger; have scaled up more quickly; and have been flexible in tracking moving political targets and bridging different issues (BENNETT & SEGERBERG, 2013, p. 6)
A case study of the protests in Brazil This study investigates the recent social movements in Brazil, which has appeared to be a phenomenon that fell outside the left-right dual division of society, and was largely leaderless
