O Midiativismo Ninja: mapeando as transmissões ao vivo como repertório de ação coletiva.

Abstract

From the protests of June 2013, the collective Media Ninja was known in Brazil and abroad for the on-site coverage of the demonstrations in real time, depicting everything that occurred without cuts or issues. The practice of engaging activists who appropriate the available resources, especially the Internet and electronic devices, to be "the media of oneself" and to construct a narrative of the actions they participate in, in the face of dissatisfaction with the coverage and the framework interpretive of the great media, contemplate what is defined as mediaativism. Understanding the phenomenon as a collective action of activists that use communication as a means of acting, the present research investigates how the media activism is characterized by the use of live transmissions as a repertoire of collective action. To do so, we will analyze the live broadcasts of the collective for the period of twelve months, between May 2017 and April 2018, collected from the page of the Media Ninja on Facebook, to identify the agenda of actions constituted by the mediativism Ninja from his repertoire; to delimit the spatial dimensions contemplated by the presential actions of the collective; and to check with what other forms of action and / or spaces activists interact by using the observed repertoire. The research also contemplates the approach of the emergence and performance of our object of study, the Ninja Media, as well as the theoretical references central to the work, such as the construction of the concept of mediativism itself, repertoire of action and the theory of social movements and collective actions.
