Resumen

En la lí­nea de las investigaciones sobre los efectos de Twitter sobre la configuración de la opinión pública, se analizan las caracterí­sticas del debate generado a raí­z de la presentación de la Ley del referéndum de Cataluña. Se trabajó con dos muestras (n1: 260.866 tweets y retweets y n2: 1.681 tweets) que permitieron estudiar, por un lado, la morfologí­a de la red de retweets (RT) y la obtención de los perfiles -lí­deres de influencia, constructores y puentes- que en ella se dibujan y, por otro, la conceptualización de la situación polí­tica por parte de aquellos usuarios que lideran la mencionada red. Los resultados muestran un porcentaje significativo (32%) de usuarios de las esferas públicas periféricas entre los lí­deres de influencia, frente al 68% perteneciente a la esfera pública central. Ambos se configuran como lí­deres de dos comunidades altamente polarizadas ideológicamente a favor y en contra de esta Ley, lo cual se aleja del ideal de deliberación.
