Abstract

This article proposes a practical guide for researching contemporary political mobilizations and social movements using digital tools. It highlights the relevance of digital tools amidst the complex dynamics of activism in recent times, as well as the potential of Digital Humanities – a field of study that combines humanities and social sciences with digital technology – to deepen these investigations. To achieve this, it presents a guide divided into six steps, ranging from defining the problem to interpreting and communicating the results, using various tools and software. With this material, the aim is to assist researchers and contribute to an advancement in the understanding of contemporary social mobilizations.

KEYWORDS: Social Movements; Digital Humanities; Data Analysis; Research Guide.
