Producción de compromiso y sentido de realidad en los entornos virtuales: un análisis etnográfico

Journal article | Zeitschriftenartikel

There is significant literature in the social sciences about the Internet. A lot of it is dedicated to understanding interaction in virtual spaces like forums, chats, etc. Such analyses represent two different approaches. In the first approach, authors are concerned to clarify the limitations that virtual spaces put on interactional phenomena. In these cases the object of study is always face-to-face interaction. The second approach is to treat virtual spaces as a new field of interaction, an independent dimension for interaction phenomena. Our work runs follows this latter approach & offers a critique against the first position. The analysis uses part of the results obtained in a virtual ethnography. We report an examination of the development of interactive sequences in a specific virtual space: a forum of Estudis d'Humanitats i Filologia in Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (a virtual university).
