Abstract

The article investigates the ideological and discursive source of the right-wing social movements that led the manifestations in 2015 in many Brazilian cities. The starting point is the recognition of the social action and the use of social media as a space of political and social significance. The objective is to identify the actors aligned around a common discourse and to reveal their main discursive sources between approximately 2015 e 2018. From a methodological point of view, the social network analysis on Facebook allows to identify the network of actors that have an ideological and discursive affinity, highlighting the most popular and influential. The research reveals that right-wing movements, such as the Movimento Brasil Livre, act as symbolic producers of an international liberal and conservative networks.
