Os sites de redes sociais facilitam a publicação, a discussão e o compartilhamento de conteúdos por cidadãos. Essas plataformas têm sido usadas na organização e na divulgação de mobilizações em massa por meio de ferramentas, como “Grupos” e “Eventos” do Facebook. Nesse contexto, destaca-se a mobilização de mulheres que articulou ações e estratégias de voto contra o candidato à presidência do Brasil, Jair Messias Bolsonaro (PSL), durante o período eleitoral de 2018 através do site de rede social Facebook. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como as novas formas de mobilização com base online, aliadas às questões de gênero e representatividade eleitoral, contribuem para a construção de comunidades instantâneas de práticas transformadoras que se consolidam no espaço físico. Para alcançar tal objetivo, os procedimentos metodológicos são formados por uma combinação de técnicas qualitativas (observação, descrição e análise) (FRAGOSO; RECUERO; AMARAL, 2011). O objeto empírico é composto pelos Grupos “Mulheres unidas contra Bolsonaro” e “Mulheres Unidas Contra Bolsonaro | Pará” e pelo Evento “Mulheres contra O Bolsonaro | Belém”.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Comunicação Online; Mobilização Online; Gênero; Eleições; #EleNão.     ABSTRACT Social networking sites make it easier for citizens to publish, discuss, and share content.

From inspirational messages to celebrated pictures of cellulite and belly rolls, body positive content has become increasingly popular on social media platforms, particularly on image-based networking sites. With the rapid growth of communication technology, it is not surprising that social networking sites, such as Instagram, have become one of the most dominant and influential mediates to cultivating awareness, foster community, and advocate for social change. Instagram’s transition to an advertising platform, however, has introduced a consumerist structure to user activity for corporations to better direct advertisements at target audiences. A once social movement advocating for the rejection of thin beauty ideals in favour of a more inclusive and positive conception of body image has felt the impact of commoditization on its message and advocates. Through Foucauldian Discourse Analysis, this research study seeks to analyze the impact of Instagram’s transition to a commercialization platform on the self-representation of body positive advocates to better understand the influence of neoliberal and capitalist structures on social resistance movements and strategies.


This study attempts to the Web 2.0 Social Networking Sites for Collaborative Sharing Research Information by the Social Science Research Scholars at Alagappa University, Karaikudi. A sample size 97 Scholars was selected by random sampling method. The data required for the study were collected through a questionnaire. The findings of the study: 30.9% of the respondents using Facebook/ WhatsApp along with most highly used in the popular web browser used for Google chrome 72.2% Google chrome. 48.5% of respondents’ preference of “Very Strongly Agree” Collaborate with Research projects and Teams.

ABSTRACTThe social networking phenomenon starts generating various investigations, but so far none has raised the relationships among users of a social network from the behavioral and psychological point of view. To this end, we have conducted an empirical study based on simulated profiles in Facebook, relevant social network due to the amount of available users and for its IPO. From imaginary profiles, we analyze the types of other Facebook users that are added, which can inspire ecommerce strategies related to digital newspapers.RESUMENEl fenómeno de las redes sociales comienza a generar investigaciones diversas, pero de momento ninguna ha planteado las relaciones entre los usuarios de una red social desde el punto de vista conductual y psicológico. A tal efecto, hemos llevado a cabo un estudio empírico a partir de una simulación de perfiles en Facebook, red social de referencia por la cantidad de usuarios disponibles y por su salida a bolsa. A partir de perfiles imaginarios, analizamos la tipología de otros usuarios de Facebook que se le agregan, lo que puede inspirar estrategias de comercio electrónico vinculadas a los periódicos digitales.

<p>While the potential of social networking sites to contribute to educational endeavors is highlighted by researchers and practitioners alike, empirical evidence on the use of such sites for formal online learning is scant. To fill this gap in the literature, we present a case study of learners’ perspectives and experiences in an online course taught using the Elgg online social network. Findings from this study indicate that learners enjoyed and appreciated both the social learning experience afforded by the online social network and supported one another in their learning, enhancing their own and other students’ experiences. Conversely, results also indicate that students limited their participation to course-related and graded activities, exhibiting little use of social networking and sharing. Additionally, learners needed support in managing the expanded amount of information available to them and devised strategies and “workarounds” to manage their time and participation.<br /><strong></strong></p>

Las llamadas adiciones conductuales, entre ellas Internet, siguen encontrándose en un limbo científico por las dificultades que entraña discriminar adecuadamente entre conductas, en principio normales, y patologías que podríamos considerar adictivas. La literatura científica ha sabido conceptualizar las adicciones a sustancias de una forma exhaustiva y ahora apuesta por delimitar las adicciones conductuales y sus consecuentes comportamientos de abuso en función de parámetros que están relacionados con la frecuencia de uso, el dinero invertido, la necesidad o la compulsión, así como las interferencias que puede provocar en la vida cotidiana de una persona consiguiendo que deje de cumplir sus obligaciones. Con la llegada de los Servicios de Redes Sociales (SRS) y su amplia repercusión, nos encontramos con un nuevo frente susceptible de adicción. Estos servicios, además de su atractivo y funcionalidad, cuentan con la facilidad de conexión en cualquier momento y desde cualquier lugar, lo que los convierte en potentes reforzadores inmediatos, el mejor caldo de cultivo para una adicción. Somos plenamente conscientes de que no es posible adelantarse a las tecnologías y, mucho menos, a sus posibles consecuencias, pero sería necesario profundizar más en el estado actual de las adicciones tecnológicas, en el sentido de cómo predecir su aparición entre los más jóvenes y cómo combatir terapéuticamente de una forma eficaz sus consecuentes. AbstractBehavioral addictions including Internet addiction still remaining in a scientific limbo because of the difficulties related to a properly differentiation between normal and pathological behaviors.  Literature has conceptualized substance addiction in a comprehensive manner and now stands for define the behavioral addictions and their consequential abuse behaviors as a function of parameters related to use frequency, money invested, need or compulsion, as well as the interferences in people’s daily lives that may lead them to default on their obligations. As a consequence of the advent of the Social Networking Sites (SNS) and their wide impact among population we may find a new addiction context. These services in addition to their appealing and functionality have an easy connection everywhere at any time, which makes them powerful and immediately enhancers, becoming a breeding ground for an addiction. We are fully aware that is not possible to keep ahead to the technologies and neither their consequences but extra effort is still needed to understand their mechanisms, how can we predict the appearance among young people and how can we fight therapeutically against their consequences.
