SUMMARY:

Modernity presents itself as fluid (BAUMAN, 2001), as time and space are marked by
dynamism and incessant movement (HAN, 2015; CRARY, 2016). The breakdown of solid
foundations, unshakable truths, rigid discourses, and impenetrable institutions has
propelled us toward the investigation of discursive practices that unfold in spheres
requiring the construction of knowledge to understand the subject emerging in this fluid
modernity. Social networks, specifically Twitter, are part of people's daily lives as
sociodiscursive spaces that expand/potentialize/amplify and promote the emergence of
various discursive genres and text media in this virtual chronotope (MELO, 2016). New
interactions, constructed and constituted by/on the internet, generate new social relations
and patterns of relationship with others and the world. This study aims to analyze the
reticular chronotope constructed by individuals on the mentioned social network,
specifically in the hashtags: #REVOLTADAVACINA and #VACINAÉAMORAOPROXIMO,
and how this constitutive/constructional chronotope is discursively formed in the concrete
statements comprising the analysis corpus. The thematic-temporal delimitation focuses on
the theme of "vaccination" during the period from September 1st to September 2nd, 2020
(a period in which the hashtags were trending on Twitter). To analyze this corpus, the
theoretical framework of Bakhtin's Circle (1998, 2003, 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018,
2019) is applied concerning the conception of language as constitutively dialogical,
involving otherness, dialogical conflict, positional values, and social voices. Regarding
liquid modernity, reference is made to Bauman's postulations (2001) and to the concepts
of infocracy and infodemia by Byung-Chul Han (2021). The data construction is based on
a qualitative-interpretative research approach, relying on the interpretation of
linguistic/discursive indices, following Ginzburg's indicative paradigm (1989).
