Abstract

The participation of people in social networks is undeniably a contemporary phenomenon that presents as a characteristic not only the flow of explicit information in data form, natural and complex, but also some information (data) from the network's own movement. It is in this context that this article fits with the purpose of revealing information that is implied in participatory movements of sociotechnical networks. For this, one can rely on the conceptual theoretical contribution about Actor-Network Theory (ANT), by Bruno Latour (2012): “follow things through the networks they carry”. It is believed that by following the movements of social networks, one can view information that reflects feelings and actions that are implied in the connections about facts and events. In this article, the author will analyze and monitor social networks during the games of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. This approach brings us to an applied research and experimental.
