Táticas lídico-midiáticas no ativismo político contemporâneo

Abstract

Media-play activism refers to a segment of political activism which uses tactics that veer towards fun and spectacle. This research project treats these tactics as indicative of a mediatization of contemporary activism, and tries to determine how some activist groups deal with media logics in their actions. The hypothesis is that media-play activism makes use of media logics as a game, playing both with their targets (institutions, corporations, international organizations) and with the need to adapt to media language itself. To conclude, it is noted that this type of activism offers a variant of political manifestation connected not to logics or rationality, but to the emotions related to political engagement
