Ciberquilombo: autopreservação, reterritorialização e sociabilidade negra no Twitter

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze aspects of the Cyberquilombo observed on the virtualized interaction platform X. With diasporic realities constructed in distinct geographical locations, Brazil and the United States share anti-racist movements with practices of sociability, reterritorialization, and self-preservation on digital social networks. This investigation aims to understand convergences and distinctions in discursive practices of Cyberquilombo in the aforementioned countries. Building on what Abdias Nascimento postulated as Quilombismo, this research explores possibilities of recognizing in virtualized spaces an update of practical approaches to quilombo. The goal is to identify traces of quilombo as a communication process genuinely consolidated through mediated exchange by experience. The observation of virtual practices and the reflections of racism in cyberspace stimulate a revision of concepts of virtual communities. Based on the discussion of quilombo as a communication process and identity constituent, the process of aquilombamento is observed in the capacity to claim concrete and symbolic territories. By understanding digital social networks as a territory open to occupation, can it be observed as spaces of Cyberquilombo through the discourse of its users? To achieve this answer, we analyze Black Twitter. Through the categories of sociability, reterritorialization, and self-preservation, we select tweets using hashtags that stand out for similarities between Brazil and the United States. Based on the tweets, we propose a visual intersection, named the Cyberquilombist diagram, to analyze the observed expansions and contractions in discourse. As a result, we find forms of interaction among the black population in the diaspora as an epistemic key to propositions of sociability, reterritorialization, and self-preservation in contemporary virtualized contexts.Iwadi yii n wa lati ṣe itupalẹ awọn abala ti Cyberquilombo ti a ṣe akiyesi lori pẹpẹ ibaraenisepo ti o ni agbara Iwadii yii n wa lati loye awọn akojọpọ ati awọn iyatọ ninu aaye ifọrọwerọ ni awọn iṣe ti Cyberquilombismo ni awọn orilẹ-ede meji ti a mẹnuba.
