Description
Summary:This article reports the theoretical and methodological experience enabled by the research that aimed to understand the processes of sociability among young people gathered around the group self called “família Os poderosos e as ponderosas”, who contacted themselves through social networks and in the city squares of Fortaleza, Ceará. The generating question was: how are these relations, their dislocations and ruptures constituted from the convergence between the use of communication and information technologies and squares? For the purposes of the research, ethnography and netnography were used as main methodological procedures.
