Twitter e o cronotopo reticular por meio dos embates dialógicos nas hastags #REVOLTADAVACINA e #VACINAÉAMORAOPROXIMO

Abstract

Modernity is characterized by fluidity (BAUMAN, 2001), with time and space marked by constant dynamism and incessant movement (HAN, 2015; CRARY, 2016). The dissolution of solid structures, absolute truths, rigid discourses, and impenetrable institutions enable us to explore discursive practices that occur in spheres that require the construction of knowledge to understand the subject that is formed within this fluid modernity. The social media apps and networks, specifically Twitter, are part of people's daily lives, as socio-discursive spaces that broaden/enhance/amplify and profoundly transform our perception and coexistence. The intensive digitalization of everyday life changes the way we perceive and interact with the world around us (HAN, 2022). Before, our interactions were mediated by a controlled and linear flow of information, but now we are immersed in an incessant torrent of data. This work aims to problematize the concept of chronotope, from the Bakhtinian perspective and its potential in the contemporary digital social medias based on current reflections on time-space and the digital world and discuss how the reticular chronotope on the digital social media Twitter facilitates the propagation of different ideologies, problematizing, through dialogical comparison, the positions in the hashtags “#revoltadavacina” and “#vacinaeamoraoproximo” (#revolutionofthevaccine and #vaccineislovetoothers, in respective translation). The scope was defined in a thematic-temporal mode, delimiting the hashtags #REVOLTADAVACINA and #VACINAÉAMORAOPROXIMO in the period in which they were in the trending topics (September 1st to 5th, 2020). To analyze this corpus, we use the theoretical framework of the Bakhtin Circle (1998, 2003, 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) regarding the conception of language, which is constitutively dialogic; chronotopy; concrete statement; social voices and alterity. Regarding liquid modernity, we use the postulations of Bauman (2001) and the Infocracy of Han (2022). The data were constructed from a qualitative-interpretative research approach, using the interpretation of linguistic/discursive indexes, based on Ginzburg's (1989) evidentiary paradigm. The results point to the presence of a reticular chronotope where time and space are fluid and connected in a rhizomatic way by subjects who position themselves axiologically in concrete statements.
