Abstract

This scientific initiation project proposes to identify and analyze how popular content producers in the radical feminist counterpublic use Twitter/X to communicate with other forces in the camp and to attract new people to follow their publications. In adding to this, this project wishes to recompose the discourse conveyed by radical feminism and map the most significant discursive themes of this movement on the radical feminist in Brazil.
