O processo de impeachment de Dilma Rousseff. Micropolíticas do possível em Gabriel Tarde

Abstract

The thesis approach the social categories of repetition, opposition and adaptation, as proposed by Gabriel Tarde, which are considered essential to the analysis of Brazil’s political phenomena in contemporaneity, through his neomonadologic perspective in which “the universe is composed by other souls besides mine, but deeply similar to mine” (2007, p. 65). The research aims at reaching a micropolitical dimension of social phenomena pro and against of President Dilma Roussef’s impeachment in the social media, expressed during April to August 2016. I investigate how the interaction of both hashtags founded spaces of resistance in the life spread dimension and in the virtual experiences, contagion networks, social avatars and practices of virality in social network. To understand the variation of imitations and inventions of social phenomena in the social network, we apply the theoreticalmethodological model developed by Bruno Latour (2012), through his Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which allowed for reaching an infinitesimal level to explain the reality, by observing flows of beliefs and desire throughout monades. In this sense, I reinstate the power of those political phenomena as an essential moment to open up possibilities to new possible worlds, against the passivity of “no alternative is possible” or as “end of history”.
