Resumo (EN)

Democracy in Cyberculture: The incommunication on the Internet between members and citizens in the state of Piauí is a work that aims to investigate on internet communication between rulers and ruled, with reference to the members and citizens of the state of Piauí. This research develops theoretical and empirical, especially in three phases: a literature review, based on investigations of democracy, society, culture, cyberculture and postmodernity; research the websites of parlamentarian of Piauí, especially blogs and microblogs which, theoretically, allows an interaction in real time between rulers and ruled, and interviews with members and citizens of that state. To the extent that the research delves into the realm of communication between rulers and ruled, one finds a much larger presence than the incommunication from the communication itself, understood as establishing links, as proposed Norval Baitello Junior (2005a, 2005b). The research, which also intends to investigate the possible forms of democracy; understand the importance of internet in democratic politics; assess the understanding of democracy on the part of rulers and ruled, as well as whether these individuals believe that the internet will strengthen the contemporary politics proposed, incited, by the ideas of Ernesto Laclau (2011), that democracy, in contemporary times, is an empty signifier. As such, some other proposals that serve to analyze communication between members and citizens, such as the political field, the political class as well as the formation of political elites arise during the research.
