Ciberativismo e o Projeto de Internet Livre: o controle em discussão

Abstract

In this study, we aim to investigate the discursive practices that are inscribed in proposals of cyber-activism in social networks. As a theoretical basis, we adopt the Discourse Analysis (AD), more specifically the one related to the proposals of Dominique Maingueneau (1997, 2008), and its interface with pragmatics and the theory of the production of subjectivity (GUATTARI, 1996). For the analysis undertaken, we chose the profile of the group Anonymous Brasil, for verifying what political debates they mobilize in their social network of Facebook. With the present research we intend to study the discursive practices of this group, referring to the issue of information control as a result of the approval of Law nº. 12.965 / 2014, and the effect senses seized by the readers of its page to understand how these discursive practices can be related to the group cyber-activism. For this, we use, as analysis device, the presupposition (DUCROT, 1987). We note that language constructs the phenomenon of cyber-activism and that, to enunciate control as a device created by Law 12.965 / 2014, the group (and the readers) activates several fields of knowledge to construct their true discourse. The results found point to an apprehension of the notion of cyber-activism of the Anonymous Brasil group as a process in constant construction, undergoing changes according to the different social moments in which it is inscribed and simultaneously changing its environment: the themes and modes how discussions are proposed
