Abstract

In this article, we seek to understand which dispositions and capacities have allowed the intensification, in the last decade, of the political engagement of women in the New Right-Wings. Our interpretative hypothesis is that the expansion of the involvement of conservative women with political issues occurs and is favored by a complex articulation between Identity Policies, economies of affection and emotions, public-private and digital technologies of connection. We propose an interpretative and speculative discussion, inspired by empirical elements produced in longitudinal digital ethnographic research through which we have tracked digital traits of conservative women from the middle segments of the Metropolitan Region of Greater Vitória (ES, Brazil). We adopted a relational and constructionist approach, considering theoretical-methodological elements of the Actor-Network Theory, of the Studies of Affects and Emotions, and the reading of the House-Street relationship proposed by Roberto DaMatta.
