Resumo: Social media affordances prioritize automatic interactive digital narrative about the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic to counteract misinformation and fake news in Nigeria. To engage the public about their health risk, WhatsApp chatbot was launched by Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in collaboration with UNICEF on the U-Report platform. It is the first Nigerian multilingual SMS-based interactive chatbot to run on all mobile telecommunication networks (the dark web), WhatsApp and Facebook Messengers to address health issues. This essay describes SMS-Chatbot which offers narratives to counter health misinformation in five languages-English, Pidgin, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo.  A techno-discursive analysis is presented to explain the relationship between the technotext and the wreader by employing Pedro Barbosa’s theory of wreader[1] on the extracted English version which is perceived as the digital literary practice on WhatsApp, that is, “WhatsApperature”.   [1] Blend of writer and reader, coined by George Landow (professor) in English. https://www.wordsense.eu/wreader/ consulted 24/10/2021 Wreader it has been used by Pedro Barbosa in Portugal since early late 1970s (Vuillemin 1999).

Para envolver o público sobre seus riscos à saúde, o chatbot do WhatsApp foi lançado pelo Centro de Controle de Doenças da Nigéria (NCDC) em colaboração com o UNICEF na plataforma U-Report. É o primeiro chatbot interativo multilíngue baseado em SMS da Nigéria a ser executado em todas as redes de telecomunicações móveis (a dark web), WhatsApp e Facebook Messengers para resolver problemas de saúde. Este ensaio descreve o SMS-Chatbot, que oferece narrativas para combater a desinformação de saúde em cinco idiomas: inglês, pidgin, hausa, iorubá e igbo. Uma análise tecnodiscursiva é apresentada para explicar a relação entre o tecnotexto e o wreader, empregando a teoria do wreader de Pedro Barbosa na versão inglesa extraída que é percebida como a prática literária digital no WhatsApp, ou seja, “WhatsApperature”.Center for Research in Computing, Literature, and Linguistics (NuPILL)2022-11-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigital/article/view/8637310.5007/1807-9288.2022.e86373Texto Digital; Vol. 18 No. 2 (2022): As artes digitais e seu amplo campo — Parte II; 145-160Texto Digital; Vol. 18 No 2 (2022): As artes digitais e seu amplo campo — Parte II; 145-160Texto Digital; v. 18 n. 2 (2022): As artes digitais e seu amplo campo — Parte II; 145-1601807-9288reponame:Texto digitalinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCenghttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigital/article/view/86373/51931Copyright (c) 2022 Yohanna Waliyahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWaliya, Yohanna2022-11-09T18:20:07Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/86373Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigitalPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/textodigital/oaitextodigital@cce.ufsc.br1807-92881807-9288opendoar:2022-11-09T18:20:07Texto digital - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
