Resumo(s)
Este estudo propõe analisar as características da imagem digital em nosso tempo, confrontando
teorias sobre novas tecnologias e cultura digital com as práticas diárias de usuários comuns.
Para tanto, o estudo envolveu o acompanhamento de conteúdos visuais partilhados por um
grupo de imigrantes brasileiros nas redes sociais Instagram e WhatsApp, onde os registros
combinam qualidades de documento e funções interativas no ciberespaço. Durante a condução
de uma etnografia digital, que contou com coleta de imagens e entrevistas com os informantes,
foram analisadas as particularidades da comunicação visual em cada plataforma dentro do
contexto da experiência migratória tecnologicamente conectada da atualidade
(Appadurai,1996; Diminescu, 2008), tendo como base reflexões de estudiosos sobre a relação
entre humano, tecnologia e imagem (Hayles, 1990; Jurgenson, 2020; Mitchell & Hansen, 2010;
Sturken, 2017) e os conceitos do discurso digital contemporâneo (Paveau, 2021). Ao final, os
resultados são analisados em três frentes: se as imagens funcionam como registros de memória
ou atos de socialização; se existem estratégias distintas dentro dos diferentes tipos de
publicações das plataformas; e se há uma busca por se fazer presente à distância através das
imagens, estabelecendo rotinas de intimidade pelas partilhas nas redes. Com isso, o objetivo é
oferecer uma ampla contextualização teórica de estudos relacionados ao tema e situá-los em
uma pesquisa amparada por dados qualitativos e quantitativos do estudo de campo.
This study aims to analyze the characteristics of digital images in our time, comparing theories about new technologies and digital culture with the daily practices of ordinary users. To this end, the study involved monitoring visual content shared by a group of Brazilian immigrants on the social media Instagram and WhatsApp, where the images combine document qualities and interactive functions in cyberspace. During the conduct of a digital ethnography, which included collecting shared images and interviews, the particularities of visual communication on each platform were analyzed within the context of the current technologically connected migratory experience (Appadurai, 1996; Diminescu, 2008), based on reflections by scholars on the relationship between human, technology and image (Hayles, 1990; Jurgenson, 2020; Mitchell & Hansen, 2010; Sturken, 2017) and the concepts of contemporary digital discourse (Paveau, 2021). Finally, the results are analyzed on three fronts: whether the images function as memory records or acts of socialization; whether there are distinct strategies within the different types of formats on the platforms; and whether there is a search for being present from a distance through the images, establishing technologically mediated routines of intimacy. Therefore, the objective is to offer a broad theoretical contextualization of studies related to the theme and situate them in research supported by qualitative and quantitative data from the field study.
