Abstract(s)
O trabalho aqui apresentado e intitulado “Participação Política no Facebook: continuidades e reconfigurações”, centra a sua abordagem em dois grandes domínios: o da política, e em particular o da participação política, e um segundo, o da usabilidade de diferentes artefactos tecnológicos, nomeadamente o Facebook. Através da interceção destes dois domínios da atividade social, procuramos indagar a realidade acerca da possibilidade de o Facebook, enquanto ferramenta tecnológica, se constituir como um instrumento, que efetivamente dê expressão a formas de participação política.
Para levar a cabo a operacionalização deste empreendimento teórico, implementou-se uma metodologia mista, que se constituí como um compromisso entre uma abordagem quantitativa, por via da implementação de uma análise de conteúdo, e qualitativa, através da realização de entrevistas a ativistas, protagonistas de oito Organizações consideradas como o nosso alvo de pesquisa.
O argumento transversal à investigação, que agora se inicia, passa pela assunção de que há claros indícios de continuidade, em conjugação com elementos de reconfiguração da ação política convencional.
The work presented here, entitled Political participation on Facebook: continuities and reconfigurations, adopts an approach that considers two broad areas: the first is politics, particularly political participation, and second, the usability of different technological artefacts, namely Facebook. Through the interception of these two domains of social activity, we investigate reality about the possibility of Facebook, while technological tool, to constitute itself as an instrument, which effectively gives expression to forms of political participation. To carry out the operationalization of this theoretical enterprise, we implemented one mixed methodology, which is constituted as a compromise between a quantitative approach, through the implementation of a content analysis, and qualitative, by conducting interviews with activists, protagonists from eight organizations considered as our research target. The argument that comes across throughout the work, which is now beginning, goes by the assumption that there are clear signs of continuity in conjunction with reconfigured elements of conventional political action.
