O compartilhamento de informacoes por intermedio de grupos de Whatsapp define um novo formato de distribuicao, resultando em dialogo diferente do publico com a comunicacao, no qual desaparecem os ciclos temporais, numa perspectiva intensa e caotica. Esta mudanca no ecossistema da midia tem proporcionado situacoes de pânico, em certos momentos. As pessoas acreditam na informacao, independente da veracidade e mesmo quando tem a comprovacao contraria, seguem acreditando. Este texto e resultado de investigacao explicativa, bibliografica e documental. O objetivo e fazer uma aproximacao entre o episodio de A guerra dos mundos – encenacao de invasao marciana, transmitida pelo radio, em 1938, nos Estados Unidos, e que levou a populacao americana ao pânico – e episodios recentes relacionados a troca de mensagens por grupos no aplicativo Whatsapp. A problematizacao aqui passa pela observacao de dois cenarios distintos, com um intervalo significativo de tempo, mas com reacoes semelhantes de parte do publico. O que determina reacoes semelhantes, em contextos teoricamente distintos? Sugestibilidade, ausencia de referencias mentais estaveis e influencia da comunidade sao aspectos comuns e que se mantem ao longo da historia? A transformacao da tecnologia, do radio em 1938, aos aplicativos via smartphones, amplifica estes comportamentos, com caracteristicas muito proximas? Estas sao algumas questoes sobre as quais este texto pretende investigar e refletir. The sharing of information through Whatsapp groups defines a new distribution format, resulting in a different dialogue between the public and the communication, in which time cycles disappear, in an intense and chaotic perspective. This change in the media ecosystem has given rise to panic situations at certain times. People believe in information, regardless of its veracity and even when they have the opposite proof, they still believe. This text is the result of explanatory, bibliographic and documentary research. The goal is to bring together the episode of The War of the Worlds - a staging of Martian invasion, broadcast on the radio in 1938 in the United States, which caused the American population to panic - and recent episodes related to the exchange of messages by groups on the Whatsapp app. The problematization here involves observing two different scenarios, with a significant interval of time, but with similar reactions on the part of the public. What determines similar reactions, in theoretically different contexts? Suggestibility, absence of stable mental references and influence of the community are common aspects that have been maintained throughout history? Does the transformation of technology, from radio in 1938, to applications via smartphones, amplify these behaviors, with very similar characteristics? These are some questions that this text intends to investigate and reflect on.
