“Amém? Compartilhe!”: análise da interação e circulação dos discursos de Macedo, Santiago e usuários no Facebook e Twitter

Abstract

The digital ambience - a relatively new phenomenon in the religious neopetencostal field - promotes the emergence of other relations between network users, leaders, and institutions, that are now influenced by logics and media rules put, instantaneously, in circulation due to the appropriation of Internet, which is converted in the environment. So, this study is focused under this perspective. Its objective is understanding to what extend the mediatization and its procedures intervene the way that the religious leaders Edir Macedo e Valdomiro Santiago interact with Facebook's and Twitter's users, as well the meanings are generated between these users - believers, non-believers and non-practitioners through discursive circulation of leaders. In view of this, it is investigated how the discursive interactions of actors occur, when they are put in circulation on the web. Henceforth, it is questioned which procedures logics govern the search of the other in three systems: the mediatic, the religious and the user's. Methodologically, it is applied the multiple comparative case study, because it is believed that despite the analysis and the dedication to the neopentecostal religious universe, each leader and, consequently, their institutions present different discursive and operational strategies. This aspect will permeate the totality of the three mapped systems, approximating to the concept of system, according to Niklas Luhmann (2010) to the exercise of circulation analysis. With the operationalisation in the systems, the social networks are inferred from the appropriation of leader, institutions and users that transit through an intense circulation, via discourses. Therefore, for materials reading, it is adopted the semiologic proposal of Eliseo Verón (2004), Milton José Pinto (2002) e Adair Caetano Peruzzolo (2004), as theoretical and methodological background which aims to analyze the circulation of discourses. Finally, it glimpses the emergence of a new sociability which affects not just the meaning given to the religion, but the way that it is experienced. Sacred elements are affected through profane generating discourses that circulate continuously. Key-words: Mediatization; Religion; Circulation; Discursive Strategies; Social Networks
