A CULTURA DO CANCELAMENTO NAS REDES SOCIAIS: uma visão da psicossociologia e suas consequências no aspecto sociocultural e histórico

Abstract

This article has as its theme the cancellation (cancel culture or call-out culture), which means according to the dictionary (Guia de uso do português confrontando regras e usos) of the Portuguese language, to make something without effect, to eliminate or exclude as the main axis, and its psychosocial aspects, through the use the internet and power relations that can affect people in their daily lives. In this aspect, we seek to analyze how the cancellation process within social networks can contribute to a psychic and social change on the part of the groups involved, as there may be an identification and/or subsequent exclusion within the dimensions of mobility and speed that social networks propose to us. As the center of the research, we will use psychoanalytic theory to facilitate this study, seeing as is considered the best approach to provide guidance for the proposed objective. Both the aspect of social networks and the psychological framework of this scenario become instigating as a way of research and provide a vast path for academic study on the subject. The method used to obtain results was the bibliographical and documental research, aiming to prove the importance of the network’s performance, as a way of modifying the psychic processes and development of individuals. With this, we sought to analyze and understand how aspects of judgment and the formation of human beings socially with a narcissistic aspect, brought influences into digital platforms and the cancellation process.
