Abstract

This article analyses the challenges experienced by activists with social vulnerabilities who continued their activism online or face-to-face during the pandemic, focusing especially on Black and Indigenous women. I have also studied the types of resistance found in the period between March 2020 and July 2021. On the other hand, I will analyse leaders of organized social movements – or those in the process of formalization – to understand how these leaders organized themselves in the digital world. This qualitative and quantitative research was carried out through online questionnaires and online focus groups composed by activists with social vulnerabilities and leaders of organized social movements in different parts of Brazil. Due to a long period of turmoil, social division, self-isolation and perpetual stress have become the daily norm in our country. As we faced various political conflicts and social trials, the strength of our relationships and associations allowed us to endure. This research will also follow the digital difficulties in Brazil, finding levels of partial and total digital exclusion among the analysed groups. Despite the difficulties of navigating the digital world, activists and leaders of Brazilian social movements sought alternatives through resistance and solidarity, including sharing access to the internet via cell phones. This reflection is based on the research New Forms of Representation While Facing Digital Transformation finished in December 2021 for the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Foundation.
巴西社会弱势活动家和有组织社会运动领导人数字包容的比较研究
本文分析了在大流行期间继续在网上或面对面开展活动的社会弱势活动家所面临的挑战,特别关注黑人和土著妇女。我还研究了2020年3月至2021年7月期间发现的抗性类型。另一方面,我将分析有组织的社会运动的领导人——或者那些正处于形式化过程中的领导人——以了解这些领导人是如何在数字世界中组织自己的。这项定性和定量研究是通过在线问卷和在线焦点小组进行的,这些小组由巴西不同地区的社会弱势群体活动家和有组织的社会运动领导人组成。由于长期动荡,社会分裂、自我孤立和持续的压力已成为我国的日常常态。当我们面对各种政治冲突和社会考验时,我们的关系和社团的力量使我们能够忍受。这项研究还将跟踪巴西的数字困难,在分析的群体中发现部分和完全的数字排斥程度。尽管在数字世界中导航困难重重,巴西社会运动的活动人士和领导人仍通过抵抗和团结寻求替代方案,包括通过手机共享互联网接入。这一反思是基于2021年12月为弗里德里希·艾伯特基金会完成的“面对数字化转型的新表现形式”研究。
