Pessoas negras seguindo pessoas negras : identidade on-line a partir de uma análise etnográfica no Black Twitter brasileiro.

Abstract

The work addresses the practices of blackness in the construction of identities in black cyberculture, from an analysis of the Brazilian Black Twitter. This is a qualitative research that adopts an ethnographic approach to understand the experiences of black cyberculture, seeking to analyze the daily lives of black subjects on Twitter. The study also makes use of complementary methods of bibliographic, exploratory, and documentary research. Throughout the work, concepts relevant to research such as blackness, identity, online platforms and black cyberculture are discussed. Through research, one perceives a phenomenon: Black Twitter. Which in turn occurs from the significant presence of black subjects following up on Twitter and creating content from blackness and anti-racism. But even though anti-racism is what unites twitter blacks, there are several other factors happening simultaneously among black subjects on the platform, making them differ in relation to the solidarity and unity of this complex space. Because through the intersectionality between gender, sexuality, class and territorial region, different identities, and ways to be black on online platforms manifest themselves.
