We aim to discuss, critically, communicational practices that cross political debates in Brazil. We intend to map the actions of reactionary groups on digital media, where they have gained hegemony trough a "metapolitical" strategy, to then investigate emerging experiences in the field of Marxist left. We will also analyze how traditional media views the work communist communicators through depoliticized speeches and problematize cultural challenges posed to a newly articulated progressist group vying for territories on the Internet.

During the 1990s, it was widely predicted that hypertext would have a great future within the discursive field of the human and cultural sciences, mainly due to the new conditions and possibilities for the production and reception of stories (theoretical), but hypertext has not been well received among current historians. Is the myth and the dream machine represented by hypertext something we can easily set aside? Or are its potentialities, which underlie experience and motivate us to re-launch experiments in fact visible? Reconsideration of hypertext. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
