Narrativas digitais nas redes sociais: A construçao do imaginário religioso na visibilidade mediática

Maria Neusa dos Santos

Sao Paulo: Pontificia Universidade Católica de Sao Paulo, Doctoral Thesis (2020), 226 pp.

"O escopo desta pesquisa abarcou algumas narrativas digitais do catolicismo no Facebook, buscando compreender a construção do imaginário da religião Católica na visibilidade mediática, a partir do contexto da pós-modernidade, pelos meios digitais. O corpus da pesquisa é composto por análise ... s de fanpages ligadas ao catolicismo no período de 2016 a 2020, com destaque para as mudanças ocorridas na Igreja Católica causadas pela pandemia de Covid-19 no mundo. A problemática central da pesquisa assenta-se nas seguintes perguntas: Em que medida e sob quais procedimentos de comunicação, mediados pelas tecnologias, há mudanças no imaginário e no comportamento da religião Católica em razão de sua inserção na cibercultura? Há deslocamento de espaço no acesso aos bens da fé do catolicismo? O diálogo estabelecido nas redes e/ou o consumo dos bens da fé sinalizam um novo cenário da Igreja? A hipótese inicial concentra-se na ideia de que as redes sociais estão formando um complexo esquema de transmutações rápidas no catolicismo, do local das manifestações de fé para o glocal das experiências de fé. Devido à natureza híbrida do objeto de análise, o referencial conceitual utiliza como alicerces a teoria do glocal e da visibilidade mediática desenvolvida por Eugênio Trivinho, sob inspiração na sociodromologia fenomenológica, e a teoria das narrativas digitais de Paul Ricoeur e Janet Murray. Para a compreensão das redes, a análise apoiou-se em Manuel Castells; e das redes sociais, em Raquel Recuero. Além disso, foram utilizadas as obras de teóricos como David Harvey e Fredric Jameson, no que tange à teoria e à crítica da modernidade e pós-modernidade; e de Cornelius Castoriadis, Maffesoli e Juremir Machado Silva, para tratar da teoria do imaginário. Para a compreensão do fenômeno religioso e da religião mediática, a análise recorreu às contribuições de Mircea Eliade, Peter Berger, Pierre Bourdieu e Luís Mauro de Sá Martino. Para a compreensão de consumo religioso, apoiou-se em Dom Slater, Nestor Canclini e Luiz Peres-Neto. Os conceitos de narrativas digitais, redes sociais, catolicismo, sagrado, cibercultura, cyberspace, dromocracia, glocal, hibridação, compressão do espaço-tempo foram necessários para o entendimento das manifestações narrativas do catolicismo nas redes sociais. Os resultados da investigação apontam para dados novos, entre os quais de que há uma nova configuração da religião Católica mediada pelas redes sociais, com contornos renovados nos ambientes interativos, em que o “controle” religioso muda o locus da cátedra para o fiel, que dita a mensagem a ser consumida."
