Urban and sociocultural dynamics

This work analyzed two Brazilian political groups that have millions of followers on virtual social networks, who have been articulators of major mobilizations in recent years. The question that guided this investigation was: with whom are the Movimento Brasil Livre and the Movimento Vem Pra Rua related to on Facebook? In order to carry out the research, data collections and analyzes on Facebook were carried out between 2018 and 2019. Among the results, the main actors belonging to and linked to these groups were analyzed, and there was also an online link among politicians who identify themselves as the right-wing side of the political spectrum, internal movement leaders, and part of the media (including the alternative). The theme is relevant for addressing contemporary challenges of online research, Social Network Analysis (ARS), and new political movements in the role of producers and disseminators of political content.
