Discurso de Influenciadores Voltados ao Público Infantojuvenil no Instagram: Uma Comparação Brasil e Estados Unidos
Resumo
Dada a crescente influência de criadores de conteúdo direcionados a crianças e adolescentes, torna-se fundamental compreender como esses agentes estruturam seus discursos nas mídias sociais. Este trabalho apresenta uma análise comparativa e multinível do discurso de influenciadores no Instagram no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos, com base na análise de legendas e transcrições de vídeos públicos. Investigamos o uso de emojis e hashtags, atributos psicolinguísticos, tópicos semânticos, níveis de toxicidade e os valores humanos expressos no conteúdo. Os resultados revelam padrões consistentes de autoapresentação, entretenimento e publicidade em ambos os países, além de diferenças culturais claras. No Brasil, destacam-se referências à família, religiosidade e valores tradicionais, enquanto nos Estados Unidos predominam estratégias de marca pessoal e valores associados a prestígio social e prazer. Adicionalmente, as transcrições apresentam maior prevalência de conteúdo sensível, enquanto as legendas concentram estratégias de engajamento.
