Abstract:
Understanding that the new technologies of communication and
information have been gaining more and more spaces in several spheres of the society,
making the establishment of interpersonal communication via internet become more and
more common, this dissertation presents a discussion concerning the implications of this
phenomenon in the field of the social relations, specifically focusing in the sphere of the
sociality and of the social interaction. The main objective is to analyze the new sociality
forms which emerge from that new communication device, taking as locus for
investigation the internet chat rooms, especially the IRC #CampinaGrande channel.
The research and analysis of the empiric data were aimed at giving an account not only
of the identification of the new emergent practices of socialities in the chat rooms but,
likewise, they briefly expose some factors responsible for the gained results, as well as
they indicate the emergence of the tools of virtual communication via internet.
