Abstract

This article aims at analyzing quantitatively and qualitatively the communicative flows on the Twitter concerning the changes in the Brazilian Forestry Code, in order to understand if the microblog’s communicative environment was used in a way by which it could reveal a plurality of discourses and arguments involving different positions in the dispute. After this plurality was partially proven, the arguments used by both sides of the dispute (for and against the changes) were listed and confronted with a theoretical context concerning the environment anchored on communication, economics and social sciences issues.
