Operações de midiatização: das máscaras da convergência às críticas ao tecnodeterminismo
sobre o papel dos “amadores” e de suas ações de reconexão, na-
quilo que chamamos de dispositivo conexial, ou seja, uma sócio-
-tecno-simbolicidade comunicacional especificamente contem-
porânea. Por fim, concluímos que surge uma nova organização
religiosa a partir das redes comunicacionais que se constituem
em plataformas sociodigitais, o que aponta para uma autonomi-
zação crescente dos indivíduos religiosos perante as práticas e
as identidades religiosas.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE:
plataformas sociodigitais, redes comunica-
cionais, reconexão, dispositivo conexial, religião.
ABSTRACT:
The social practices in the online environment,
based on media logics, also complexify the religious phenom-
enon nowadays. Newmodes of perception and expression of the
sacred are formed in new environments of worship. Increasingly,
the religious phenomenon moves to “public” environments – to
socio-digital platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. In
this article, based on the contributions of Bernard Miège, we will
reflect on sociotechnical innovations in times of digitization, an-
alyzing the close relations between the social, the religious and
the technique, markedly in socio-digital platforms. Then, based
on an empirical case of the circulation of elements of Catholicism
on Facebook, we present some inferences about the role of the
“amateurs” and their actions of reconnection, in what we call
connectial dispositive, that is, a specifically contemporary com-
municational socio-techno-symbolicity. Finally, we conclude
that a new religious organization emerges from the communi-
cational networks that constitute socio-digital platforms, which
points to an increasing autonomization of religious individuals
vis-à-vis religious practices and identities.
KEYWORDS:
socio-digital platforms, communicational net-
