Résumé

his research focuses on transformations in the digital public sphere. Its objective is to analyze Twitter profiles in the polarization of discursive political conflicts. Through the analysis of five different conflicts in Brazil, registered during 2020, this work studies the 500 accounts that registered the highest number of retweets within a sample of 447,762 messages collected through hashtags, which totaled 334,588 retweets. Applying a standardized residual analysis, using R language, the objectives are to identify if there is indeed ideological polarization in the public debate on Twitter and to identify the type of profile that generates, if applicable, that polarization on Twitter. Although the data refer only to a specific case study in Brazil, the results provide value for a broader analysis, given that the Brazilian political and social context raises high levels of confrontation and political polarization with international projection. The results allow us to point out that the digital public sphere is dynamic, the predominance of personalization and customization of the public debate, increased with the entry of new actors or sources in the political discussion and the loss of space as a source of information in the public debate by part of classical actors such as the media.
