The research aims to study the temporal variation of generic and specific
frames about health in the context of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Brazil. It is a case
study conducted on Twitter about health (n = 31,339,922) between March 15 and
June 15, 2020. As analytical categories, 3 generic and 3 specific frames about health
in epidemic contexts were studied. The generic frames were operationalized
deductively: conflict, attribution of responsibility and morality (SEMETKO;
VALKENBURG, 2000). The specific frames were operationalized with the
inductive method (DE VREESE, 2005): consequences of the pandemic,
containment measures, and treatment methods. The tweets were automatically
classified using a dictionary-based computational method, ensuring reliability,
validity, and reproducibility (KRIPPENDORFF, 2011; SAMPAIO; LYCARIÃO,
2018). A time series was performed to observe the daily variation of the evocation
of each frame in the 93 days studied. A temporal network of users connected
through mentions, retweets, and replies was also performed, on which the
PageRank metric was calculated to measure their daily influence on the network.
The ten most prominent actors were selected according to their PageRank on the
peak date of each frame of the time series. Finally, information on the context of
analysis and on the climate of opinion in Brazil was systematized through
representative surveys of the Brazilian population with daily frequency (n = 1,800,
ME = plus–minus 2 percent, CI = 95 percent). The results indicate that the order of evocation of the
frames, from most to least prominent, was conflict, attribution of responsibility,
consequences of the pandemic, morality, containment measures, and treatment
methods. In particular, the frames of conflict, attribution of responsibility, and
consequences of the pandemic were strongly related to a negative, episodic, and
human interest framing of the tweets. On the other hand, the other frames (morality,
containment measures and treatment methods), prioritized thematic framings,
whose implications were preponderantly of a more social and less individual nature.
Also noteworthy is the significant presence of anonymous profiles among the
Top10 users of each frame, as well as activists, health experts, digital influencers,
journalists, media organizations, politicians, and profiles of another nature, such as
fandoms and satirical. Finally, regarding the study of the conditions that explain the
highest peaks of evocation of the generic and specific frames in the time series, a
phenomenon that was defined in this thesis as framing synchronization was
observed. Framing synchronization is defined as the phenomenon of collective
adjustment of the frequency of network activation of a given frame through
interaction between individuals and influenced by five factors: context, succession
of associated events, climate of opinion, and the combination of frames, and issues.
