Este artículo analiza algunos de los espacios digitales del Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL), uno de los representantes de la llamada “nueva derecha” brasileña, centrándose en las acciones del grupo en la proliferación de noticias falsas con motivo del asesinato de la política brasileña Marielle Franco en marzo de 2018. La investigación relaciona el tema con la noción de "esfera pública emocional" (Lange 2014) y las consideraciones de Hine (2014) sobre los “eventos mediáticos”. Partiendo de la página oficial del MBL y de su perfil de Facebook, la investigación explora tanto la forma en que el grupo constituye su narrativa política en dichas plataformas, como algunas interacciones sociales que dialogaran con ellas a partir de la difusión de rumores. Observaciones etnográficas digitales se sumaron al análisis crítico del discurso y de los fenómenos visuales en Internet, tratando de comprender los mecanismos de "reconocimientos" (Barbero 2012) y "autoproducciones" (Haynes 2016) que informaron el debate público digital generado por el tema. Las intervenciones online se configuraron como una fuente relevante para investigar las prácticas simbólicas y dinámicas culturales de sus actores, y permitieron reflexionar sobre el ambiguo papel político de los medios digitales.
This article analyses some of the digital spaces of Movimento Brasil Livre (MBL), one of the representatives of the so-called Brazilian "new right wing", focusing on the group's role in the proliferation of fake news on the occasion of the assassination of Brazilian politician Marielle Franco in March 2018. The research relates the theme to the notion of "emotional public sphere" (Lange 2014) and to Hine's (2004) considerations on "media events". Starting from the MBL's official page and its Facebook profile, the research explores both how the group constitutes its political narrative on such platforms, and some of the social interaction that dialogue with them through the dissemination of the rumours. Digital ethnographic observations were added to the critical analysis of discourse and visual phenomena on the internet, to try to understand the mechanisms of "recognitions" (Barbero 2012) and "productions of oneself" (Haynes 2016) that informed the public debate generated by the issue. The online interventions configured themselves as a relevant source to investigate the symbolic practices and cultural dynamics of their actors, and allowed reflections on the ambiguous political role of digital media.
