Polarization, Black Consciousness Day, Discursive strategies, TwitterAbstract
This article aimed to understand how Black Consciousness Day in 2021 was constructed discursively on Twitter and how it circulated on the platform. We also sought to analyze which actors and groups were involved in the debate on the date and which meanings were produced and legitimized by them. For data collection, the Twitter API was used, with the help of the Social Feed Manager, from the keywords #diadaconsciencianegra; #black Consciousness; racism; racist and racist groups, between November 18 and 21, 2021. The analysis showed polarized social interactions, marked (1) by the dissemination of denialist and racist comments, whose objective seems to marginalize the black movement, and (2) by groups distinct but who share the recognition and resignification of the anti-racist struggle.
