Os mortos do capitão : a narrativa do presidente Jair Bolsonaro no Twitter em relação à covid-19 durante o primeiro semestre de 2020

Abstract

This project's aim is to analyze Jair Bolsonaro's posts on his Twitter profile during the first semester of 2020 to understand if there was a connection between Bolsonaro's warning posted in the social network and his actions as president during the pandemic. Posts belonging to a database with 8,204 publications were verified, with dates between March 31, 2010 and July 1, 2020. The research considers the trajectory of conflict (NETO, 2019) in which Bolsonaro delivers his speech between 2010 and 2020 through Twitter insertions and analyzes publications based on disinformation classification criteria (WARDLE; DERAKHSHAN, 2017). It seeks to understand whether there is a relationship between the mapped legal actions (DIAZ-QUIJANO; RIBEIRO, 2021) and what their connections are with what Bolsonaro tweeted. Potential fascist characteristics (ECO, 2018) in Bolsonaro's speech and its connections with necropolitics (MBEMBE, 2018) are also discussed. At the end of the work, it is possible to perceive a direct relationship between what Bolsonaro said and did, in a policy that assumed deaths from COVID-19 as part of his model of state management.
