#EsLey2020. The collective action frames of the IVE (Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy) in Argentina in social networks

Abstract

This paper studies the most popular collective action frames on Twitter during the legislative debate on Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy: “pro-right” (pro-choice) and “pro-life”. The findings show a rotation of the network that results in a less intense polarization, where the party division does not explain the formation of frames. In the #EsLey event, the application of the Network Activated Frames (NAF) model allows us to verify the selective propensity of users to share content with those who have cognitive affinity, and its topological consequence, the overrepresentation of the frames activated by the most ideological users.
