Resumo
Technological advances from the information revolution have affected various fields of human
life. New forms of interaction in productive ways. The internet is one of the cornerstones of
this process. The popularization of the web, since the 1990s, was accompanied by a growing
concern by governments and scholars about its consequences. The political activism has
found on technology, since the 1980s, new forms of expression and action. In the early
twenty-first century, the process of radicalization of some movements and the debate on
society of control and surveillance has intensified. The Wikileaks organization and the NSA’s
(National Security Agency) documents leaked by Edward Snowden, for example, have shown
the power and relevance of such groups. Thus, this study aims to assess and map the impact
of this type of activism in Brazil. Since this is an exploratory research, the cartographic
methodology will be used in order to provide an overview of cypherpunk activism in Brazil. We
have chosen the cartographic methodology to present an overview of the impact of
cypherpunks’ discourse in Brazil. The research tries to find the main disseminators of speech
and action and understanding this process as a constant construction. This methodology
allows both the treatment of robust data, obtained through mining in networks, as a
qualitative analysis of data from documentary sources. In addition to the theoretical
discussion, this work operates with data mining in social networks, especially Twitter. The
goal is to obtain primary data on the subject in Brazil. Thus, data mining software capture
tweets (yourTwapperKeeper) with keywords determined by theoretical discussion. Then the
data are processed and entered into a visualization software (Gephi) that generates the
"map" of the network and debate.
