Digital platforms have played a significant role in the communicative articulation between human and non-human actors in digital social dynamics. Hate speech and misogynistic attacks have shaped the online world as yet another space for violence. Therefore, this research described the social around the term Rape Culposo through messages (tweets) associated with the hashtag #NãoExisteEstuproCulposo on the platform, Twitter. We use the theoretical framework of the Actor-Network Theory (LATOUR, 2012, 2007; LAW, 1999; CALLON, 1986) operationalized through the Cartography of Controversies (VENTURINI, 2010) to understand, from the Mariana Ferrer case, which are the discourses on the bodies and rape culture permeated and reverberated on the platform. Based on authors who think about gender violence (BUTLER, 2018), ideological bubbles, (SODRÉ, 2021), power and domination (BOURDIEU, 2012), online platforming (DANDREA, 2020). In the results, from the cartography of the social it was possible to delineate the set of human and non-human actors enunciated and discourses associated in a network in the attack of progressive vehicles, blaming women and the polarization between groups.Gender Violence, Twitter, Actor-Network Theory, Online PlatformsGender Violence, Twitter, Actor-Network Theory, Online Platforms
