Abstract

This article presents an analysis of twenty-eight (28) posts generated by fans of the Pantera Negra community. The main objective of this study is to understand the speeches of the fans about the film Black Panther. For this, the fans were classified as black and non-black, given the difference in impact that the ideological and cultural issues made explicit in the film may have for each of these groups. Thus, we sought to investigate the frequency of textual discourses and the content expressed by these fans. In addition, we sought to identify the discourses / comments with an ideological and critical expression as well as their relation with the posts in blacks and non-blacks. The Content Analysis of Bardin (2006) was used as support to elect categories.
