O "eu" no contemporâneo : narrativas de si na rede social Facebook.

Abstract

The social networks are embedded in the life of a lot of subjects. These subjects are increasingly connected, especially on Facebook, the largest and most visited site of social networks of the contemporary times. If modernity aspired for beauty, cleanliness and order, today, we live an age of transition, a time when, according to Bauman (2007), we passed from "solid" phase to the "liquid" phase. Undeniable is that the world is changing, and in this slice of time, increasingly we live with technologies connected to the Internet - this, which provided a lot of changes to society. In this work, I studied the self-narratives that emerging from Facebook, since the entire network is based on the individual figure. And are the narratives of the self, narratives of the "I" or "self-narratives" found in the posts of nine volunteer subjects, Facebook users, whom were observed during the period of four months, in the course of this study. The purpose of this observation, i.e., of the research, was to try to understand how the narratives of the self appear in the social network Facebook, which features of these self-narratives, what the subjects write about thyself, what the themes that emerge from self-narratives, if these narratives, especially those more intimate, are a way for subject to get visibility and to inscribe in the mediatized world, as well if these are a form of autopoietic construction of subjects. Thus, after the theoretical and methodological walk, I come to some final considerations, the most important was that studying the narratives, especially in time of contemporary communication technologies, is to understand, ultimately, the process of existence.
