description At the Brazilian recent public scenario, besides the complexity of matters and the spread of spokespeople engaged in defending the Amazon rainforest both in transnational and national spheres, the outlining of a series of controversies about reasons, responsibility and ways to fight against ongoing wildfires and deforestation in the ‘’region’’ was merged. Taking for examination the items of news published on digital media (among other materials) it is possible to perceive emplacement and position taking from collective and individual agents, having placed themselves on opposite and unset (ambivalent at times) sides of the conflicts/debates triggered since 2018 presidential election. We mainly considered the actions of leaders from parliamentary fronts and interest groups, observing discourses, assets and register categories, competing or relationally called on in order to intervene and define the foundations of a cause or legitimate problematic. Thus, it is aimed to unveil intervener principles in the alignments which have marked the feud in a context thought to be ‘’critical’’.

Taking for examination the items of news published on digital media (among other materials) it is possible to perceive emplacement and position taking from collective and individual agents, having placed themselves on opposite and unset (ambivalent at times) sides of the conflicts/debates triggered since 2018 presidential election. We mainly considered the actions of leaders from parliamentary fronts and interest groups, observing discourses, assets and register categories, competing or relationally called on in order to intervene and define the foundations of a cause or legitimate problematic. Thus, it is aimed to unveil intervener principles in the alignments which have marked the feud in a context thought to be ‘’critical’’. En el reciente escenario público brasileño, la complejización de los temas y la proliferación de portavoces llamados a defender la Amazonia, a nivel transnacional y nacional, se han combinado con la delineación de una configuración de controversias sobre las razones, los responsables y las formas de combatir los incendios forestales en la “región”. Tomando para el examen, en particular, los artículos publicados en los medios de prensa digital (entre otros materiales), nos apoderamos de las posiciones y los posicionamientos de los agentes (individuales y colectivos), que se colocaron en polos opuestos y no fijos (eventualmente, incluso ambivalentes) en los debates/enfrentamientos que han estallado desde las elecciones presidenciales de 2018. Principalmente, consideramos las acciones de los líderes inscritos en los frentes parlamentarios y grupos de interés, prestando atención a los discursos, triunfos y modalidades de inscripción, activados relacional y competitivamente, para intervenir y definir las bases de construcción de una causa o problema legítimo. De este modo, pretendemos señalar los principios que intervienen en las alineaciones que marcaron la disputa en un contexto considerado “crítico”. No cenário público brasileiro recente, conjugou-se à complexificação de questões e à proliferação de porta-vozes interpelados a defender a Amazônia, nos planos transnacional e nacional, o delineamento de uma configuração de controvérsias sobre razões, responsáveis e formas de combate das queimadas na “região”. Tomando para exame, notadamente, matérias publicadas em meios de imprensa digital (entre outros materiais), apreendemos posições e posicionamentos de agentes (individuais e coletivos), que se alocaram em polos opostos e não fixos (eventualmente, até ambivalentes) nos debates/embates deflagrados desde as eleições presidenciais de 2018. Principalmente, consideramos a atuação de lideranças inscritas em frentes parlamentares e grupos de interesses, atentando aos discursos, trunfos e modalidades de inscrição, relacional e concorrencialmente acionadas, com vistas a intervir e definir as bases de construção de uma causa ou problemática legítima. Buscamos, assim, apontar princípios intervenientes nos alinhamentos que marcaram a contenda em um contexto considerado crítico. 2021-05-21 2022-03-18T18:33:46Z 2022-03-18T18:33:46Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/14628 10.52780/res.14628 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63404 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/14628/10789 application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 26 n. 50 (2021): Dossiê: Participação política no Brasil: mudanças e permanências nos padrões de ativismo político 1982-4718 1414-0144
