Abstract
FERNANDES, Sheyla et al. Digital race relations: a study about forms of expression of racual intolerance on Facebook. RISTI [online]. 2020, n.38, pp.79-91. ISSN 1646-9895. https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.38.79-91.
This research aims to analyze the expression of racial intolerance on Facebook. 5 open sites were selected, between pages and groups, on the Facebook site through the descriptor “Racism” and related terms. Of these, comments were collected from the 5 most relevant posts. The data were transcribed in order to compose a textual corpus that was analyzed using the Iramuteq software. The results presented 3 main axes: the first reports the recognition of racism; the second refers to the importance of black representation; the third addresses the existence of racial democracy. It was considered relevant to discuss the way in which racial beliefs are exposed on Facebook, reproducing expressions of intolerance, but also of militancy, generating a discourse that demonstrates different faces of racial segregation in this context.
Keywords : Racism; Beliefs; Facebook.
