Literatura Afro-Indígena e Instagram: o uso da rede social como ferramenta para promover a difusão da literatura decolonial no ciberespaço

Abstract

With the advent of technological innovations, new ways of disseminating information have emerged. In contemporary times, traditional places of memory — such as libraries and archives

— have been undergoing modernization processes, gradually adapting to the digital environ- ment. This has resulted in new means of information dissemination in today’s society.This re- search aims to investigate how Afro-Indigenous literature profiles on the social network Insta- gram present themselves and what strategies they use to disseminate information in the virtual

environment. Regarding the specific objectives, the study seeks to identify engagement mecha- nisms and analyze public perceptions and interactions in order to understand how they contri- bute to the circulation and strengthening of this literary production in cyberspace. As for the

methodological process, the research is bibliographic in nature, with a qualitative approach, anchored in descriptive research and in the use of Carlo Ginzburg’s evidential paradigm (1989), combined with participant observation for data collection. This enables an in-depth analysis of

the phenomenon under study. The theoretical framework is grounded in discussions about eth- nic-racial themes in Library and Information Science, as well as in studies that examine the use

of digital platforms as a favorable space for the dissemination of information in modernity. Based on the results that highlight the performance of active decolonial literary profiles on Instagram, it is concluded that this social network acts as a powerful tool in the promotion of national Black and Indigenous literature. In doing so, it combats historical inequalities and strengthens narratives that have resisted and claimed their space for centuries.
