Resumo:
Access to the Internet and to technology has grown over the years, and in digital culture the
social interaction of a large part of the population, combined with the use of technological
devices, is considered a new way of producing language. Social networks are the virtual
spaces that are most used for personal and collective communication, assuring
entertainment and sharing of information. The social network is also a space for positioning,
in which subjects can express their opinions on the most varied themes, through language,
especially writing. In view of this context, the following questions are presented: a) What do
network actors say on Twitter about internet writing? And b) What place does the teaching
of writing occupy, based on the positioning of these subjects? Thus, it is generally aimed at
investigating the speeches of network actors about writing on the Internet, which circulate
on Twitter, so that they reveal the place of teaching writing. Specifically, we seek to identify
and describe the aspects that constitute these discourses; Analyze and reflect on the place
of teaching writing from the discourses of network actors. The research is located in the
field of Applied Linguistics, considering that it includes the discourse of the subjects of the
network itself to build a knowledge about writing on the internet. As a theoretical basis, it is
sought out to articulate concepts from Buzato (2016), on the network and the Theory of
Network Actors; Santaella (2009) and Rojo; Barbosa (2015), on digital culture; Lankshear;
Knobell (2007), on the new mentalities and new literacies; Bakhtin (2003 [1979]), to reflect
and justify Twitter as a discursive space; In Faraco (2008), support is found on the standard
norm; In Shepherd; Saliés (2013) and Rajagopalan (2013), on the linguistics of the Internet.
It is a research based on the scientific paradigm of complexity, in a descriptive perspective,
documentary type, inserted in the field of Bakhtin's Discourse Analysis studies. The corpus
was obtained from the prints of tweets about "writing on the internet", captured in the social
network itself. After collecting and observing the data, three categories of analysis are
classified: Resistance discourses, between resist and adhere, and those of adhesion. The
data is also discussed in order to articulate the discourses to the conceptions of teaching
writing. The analysis revealed that there is a duality between positions, resistant and
adherent to writing on the Internet, in addition to positions that defend individual styles of
writing. It also notes that the speeches of the network actors bear the marks of traditional
conceptions of teaching, the consequence of an objective ideal of the standard language,
transmitted by institutions throughout history. The study, therefore, points to the challenge
of the school, since it should promote a pedagogy that considers the nature of digital culture,
in order to contribute to a critical and reflexive education, considering the heterogeneous
character of the language.
