Comunicação governamental e ciberdemocracia: deslocamentos de sentidos nos órgãos federais brasileiros

Abstract

Democracy is the form of government characterized by equity of condition for all citizens. It has been changed by the social context history. Today, democracy may be enriched by the means of communication provided by telematics networks, cyberspace and by the set of practices and values that stem from it, namely cyberculture. However, the access to this powerful means is still made possible only through politics and economics. This work aims at analyzing the meanings given to the cyberdemocratic practices by the Brazilian Government. We use the theory of Discourse Analysis to unveil the meanings put into practice by the three instances of the Government.
