Resumo: This paper aims to investigate the influence of the communications revolution provoked by the Internet on the political sphere, focusing on the concept of “cyberactivism”. It seeks to highlight the particular characteristics of activism practiced in cyberspace. To this end, individual motivations for political action in the cyberspace are of interest, using the notion of agency as a capacity for action mediated by social situations, which can be classified according to a continuum of intentionality representing the different degrees of consciousness existent in different types of agency. Another axis of analysis is the hypothesis that the “non-human materials” are active, exerting agency over human actors in the cyberspace. This analysis will be produced through observation and typification of different practices that can be considered cyberactivist, focusing mainly on Facebook groups, Twitter, WhatsApp, among others.

Busca-se evidenciar as características particulares do ativismo praticado no ciberespaço. Para isso, são de interesse as motivações individuais para a ação política no ciberespaço, nos utilizando da noção de agência enquanto capacidade de ação mediada por uma situação social, que pode ser classificada de acordo com um continuum de intencionalidade representando os graus diferentes de consciência que existem em diferentes tipos de agência. Outro eixo de análise é a hipótese de que os “materiais não-humanos” são actantes, exercendo agência sobre os atores humanos no ciberespaço. Estas análises serão produzidas por meio de observação e tipificação de diferentes práticas que podem ser consideradas ciberativistas, tendo como foco principalmente grupos da rede social Facebook, a rede social de microblogging, Twitter, o aplicativo de mensagens WhatsApp, entre outros.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-08-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/article/view/3532810.15448/2178-5694.2020.1.35328Conversas & Controvérsias; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2020); e35328Conversas & Controvérsias; v. 7 n. 1 (2020); e353282178-569410.15448/2178-5694.2020.1reponame:Conversas & Controvérsiasinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/article/view/35328/26226Copyright (c) 2020 Conversas & Controvérsiashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNolasco, AnaÁvila, Leonardo FrosiJungblut, Airton Luiz2020-09-17T15:02:31Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/35328Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/indexPUBhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/conversasecontroversias/oaiteresa.marques@pucrs.br2178-56942178-5694opendoar:2020-09-17T15:02:31Conversas & Controvérsias - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
