Resumo: In this article, we analyze the role of Facebook as a tool that articulates the daily practices of social movements, both in their internal organization and in communication and interaction with external elements. The methodological proposal involves the implementation of a mixed-methods approach, through content analysis of the Facebook pages of the eight movements studied and six face-to-face interviews with activists. The main results reveal that there is a strong anchoring of the movements to the broader political picture of the social and political crisis and intervention of the Troika, assuming their antagonism as their main objective. We also observed that, although they were successful in mobilizing a large part of the Portuguese population, the truth is that the mobilizing blaze was limited in time. The constructed model proved to be robust and flexible, which makes it possible to replicate it in future research in the field of political sociology.

La propuesta metodológica implica la implementación de una metodología mixta, mediante un análisis de contenido de las cuentas de Facebook de los ocho movimientos estudiados, así como la realización de seis entrevistas cara a cara con activistas. Los principales resultados revelan que existe un fuerte anclaje, por parte de los movimientos, tanto en el panorama político más amplio de la crisis social y política, como en la intervención de la Troika, asumiendo como principal objetivo su desafío. También observamos que, si bien lograron movilizar a gran parte de la población portuguesa, lo cierto es que el efecto de movilización fue limitado en el tiempo. El modelo construido demostró ser robusto y flexible, lo que permite replicarlo en futuras investigaciones en el campo de la sociología política.Neste artigo analisa-se o papel do Facebook como ferramenta articuladora de práticas cotidianas no seio dos movimentos sociais, quer na sua organização interna, quer na comunicação e interação com elementos externos. A metodologia mista implementada passa por: análise de conteúdo das páginas de Facebook dos oito movimentos estudados e realização de seis entrevistas presenciais com ativistas. Os resultados principais revelam que existe uma forte ancoragem dos movimentos ao quadro político mais amplo de crise social e política e de intervenção da Troika, assumindo como principal objetivo a sua contestação. Embora bem-sucedidos na mobilização da população portuguesa, a verdade é que o fulgor mobilizador se circunscreveu no tempo. O modelo construído revelou-se robusto e flexível, o que possibilita a sua replicação em pesquisas futuras no âmbito da sociologia política.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2021-05-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8665625Opinião Pública; Vol. 27 No. 1 (2021): jan./abr.; 51-89Opinião Pública; Vol. 27 Núm. 1 (2021): jan./abr.; 51-89Opinião Pública; v. 27 n. 1 (2021): jan./abr.; 51-891807-0191reponame:Opinião Pública (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8665625/26675Brazil; ContemporaryBrasil; ContemporáneoBrasil; ContemporâneoCopyright (c) 2021 João Carlos Sousa, Ricardo Moraishttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSousa, João Carlos Morais, Ricardo2021-05-13T16:25:00Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8665625Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/opPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/oaicesop@unicamp.br||racael@unicamp.br || rop@unicamp.br1807-01910104-6276opendoar:2021-05-13T16:25Opinião Pública (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
