O PSEUDONIMATO COMO PRÁTICA DEMOCRÁTICA PARA A CONSTRUÇÃO DO DISCURSO DE EXTIMIDADE COM CONTEÚDO A FAVOR DA VACINAÇÃO CONTRA A COVID-19.

This research seeks to identify in which way the technodiscursive pseudonymity phenomenon materializes itself in the Twitter profile "Haddad Debochado" for the construction of the extimacy discourse encouraging the vaccination against Covid-19. For this to be possible, our research is based in the assumptions of the Digital Discourse Analysis, by Marie-Anne Paveau (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2021), that describes pseudonymity and presents the notion of extimacy in the native discourse of the web. We qualitatively analyzed the profile and one tweet of each week of June 2021, among those that were most representative according to the practice of pseudonymity for the creation of extimal tweets. The results show that the pseudonym "Haddad Debochado" reveals an "I" that encourages vaccination and is contrary to the ideas of the government of Jair Bolsonaro. We conclude that pseudonymity is a democratic and constitutive strategy of the extimacy discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
