Sumario:At the end of 2019, the term “cancellation culture” was chosen as the most relevant by the Macquarie Dictionary, which annually selects words and expressions that define, reveal or evidence human behavior in the period, giving the object more breath and vigor. This article aims to present a first approach around what is today called “cancellation culture”. The phenomenon, with that denomination, which is relatively new in digital social networks, has especially affected public figures in the contemporary world and is beginning to affect the routine of ordinary citizens. This work used consultations to a theoretical basis that contribute to an observation especially of two cases, in addition to data collected on digital social media platforms and press vehicles. We will analyze, in this exploratory research, two recent cases of J.K. Rowling, English author consecrated in the saga of the young wizard Harry Potter and the story of Emmanuel Cafferty, a simple worker son of Mexican migrants residing in California, United States, trying to identify his own characteristics.
