Análise da comunicação entre agentes políticos e o público em período eleitoral e não-eleitoral no Facebook

Abstract

Analyze and compare information regarding the communication of parliamentarians and their audiences on their Facebook pages. Collects data from publications with a deductivedescriptive look through content analysis. Categorizes the performances within the typologies developed by Almeida et al. (2018) and other branches adapted for this work, identifying performance patterns. Points out, as its main results, that parliamentarians belittle publications that are better able to promote political debate; whereas their performances differ considerably between an election and non-election year; that the public tends to consume projectionable and identifiable content; and make more supportive than purposeful comments. It concludes that the parliamentarians choose to remain in a fog of ambiguity and do not encourage the promotion of a virtuous circle, which can configure postures harmful to democracy.
