Sociedade em rede : faces virtuais da ideologia capitalista do século XXI /Bresciani, Alex Antonio. January 2007 (has links)
Orientador: Fátima Aparecida Cabral / Banca: Giovanni Antonio Pinto Alves / Banca: Simone Wolff / Resumo: Nas últimas décadas do século passado, uma série de inovações tecnológicas, sobretudo na área de informática (protocolos de comunicação, expansão das telecomunicações, a criação e estruturação da rede, entre outras), passaram a fazer cada vez mais parte de nossa vida cotidiana. Essa implantação veio acompanhada por um discurso que mostra essas inovações como característica de um mundo novo e cheio de possibilidades, um mundo em que as formas de relação conhecidas, sobretudo aquelas referentes à sociabilidade, desapareceriam e dariam lugar à novas formas. Nosso trabalho se focou em analisar em que medida as novas tecnologias, sobretudo a do ciberespaço, estão fazendo parte da vida das pessoas e, em que medida, esse processo de substituição realmente está ocorrendo. Para isso, além de vários estudos e debates sobre o tema, lançamos mão junto aos usuários de jogos em rede de um questionário visando a obtenção de dados sobre a forma como o entrevistado faz uso desses serviços e até que ponto podemos perceber se e quais tipos de alterações / substituições operam na sociabilidade virtual recentemente. Estudamos ainda nessa pesquisa, algumas formas de sociabilidade online, os jogos multiplayer em rede, bem como as formas de interação que este proporciona no ciberespaço e fora dele. / Abstract: In the last decades of last century, a series of technological innovations, above all in the computer science area (communication protocols, expansion of the telecommunications, the creation and structuring of the net, among other), they started to do part of our daily life more and more. That implantation came accompanied by a speech that shows those innovations as characteristic of a new world and full of possibilities, a world in that the known relationship forms, above all those regarding the sociability, would disappear and they would give place to new forms. Our work if it focused in analyzing in that measured the new technologies, above all the one of the cyberspace, they are being part of the people's life and, in that measured, that substitution process is really happening. For that, besides several studies and debates on the theme, we threw hand close to the users of games in net of a questionnaire seeking the obtaining of data on the form as the interviewee makes use of those services and to what extent we can be noticed and which types of alterations / substitutions operate in the virtual sociability recently. We still studied in that research, some forms of sociability online, the games multiplayer in net, as well as the interaction forms that this provides in the cyberspace and out of him. / Mestre

CYBERSPACE INVADES THE FIRST AMENDMENT: Where do we go from here?Deaton, Dollie 01 January 2001 (has links)
Long before our nation was created, European Countries acknowledged the importance of freespeech. Despite this, Great Britain later denied this right to the New England Colonies. Over thelast two centuries many battles have been fought to make freedom of speech an inalienable right tobe shared by all. A good portion of these battles have been fought in courtrooms. Judge andSupreme Court justices have dealt with issues ranging from what is a public figure to what isindecent speech. Many of these issues are not found in the original text of the Constitution. This hasforced the judges to devise tests to determine certain standards and to make discretionary choices.Today's public officials are dealing with issues that have never been dealt with before, such asInternet speech and cyberspace libel. The decisions rendered by the courts on these new issues willset a precedent for future generations. What kind of effect of this new territory, known ascyberspace, will have on the First Amendment is yet to be seen.

Identities In Motion: Cyberspace And Diasporic Queer Male Bodies In The Context Of GlobalizationAtay, Ahmet 01 January 2009 (has links)
This dissertation examines queer cultural identity formations in the context of globalization and postcoloniality by focusing on experiences and interactions in cyberspace. Broadly, the goal of this project is to examine how queer diasporic individuals (re)create cultural identity through lived and mediated realities, and how they use queer oriented social network sites for this purpose. In this dissertation, I also theorize the roles of globalization, postcolonial migration, and visual and cyber culture in the creation of hybrid cultural identities. The Internet and other computer- mediated communication (CMC) forms and technologies have provided a vast amount of possibilities for diasporic individuals to express and represent themselves, to connect to their home-nations and the citizens of these home nation-states, and create virtual communities among various diasporas for economic and emotional support. This study used cyber ethnography as a method to examine the presence of queer diasporic bodies on social network sites (Gay.com, Gaydar, and CamFrog) and their usage of cyber technologies. Cyber ethnography is concerned with communication in cyberspace and on the Internet. By using semi-structured interviews, webblog analysis, web page analysis, chat room analysis, Instant Message analysis, and webcam and audio webcam-based chat room analysis, I interacted with diasporic queer bodies in cyberspace-based communities and online environments between May and July 2009. Through this cyber fieldwork, I was able to gain extensive insights into their cultural identity formation processes and the reasons for their usage of cyberspace and new media technologies. This data gleaned from this study suggests that diasporic queer bodies often use social network sites and computer technologies to connect with others, to meet new people, and also to carve out a space to express aspects of their in-between fluid identities. They also use these sites to establish connections with other gay men in their diasporic communities. In addition, the findings suggest that diasporic queer bodies often use cyberspace and computer technologies to create homes-away-from-home and to communicate with gay men in their home countries. Based on these findings, I further theorize and extended the traditional meaning of home, the notion of desire, self presentation, and beauty and body image in the online-offline lives on diasporic queer bodies in the context of globalization. In this dissertation, I tried to capture the cultural, technological, and societal forces that influence identity formations of diasporic bodies. While I discuss these forces, I also attempted to illustrate dialectical tensions that shape the cultural identity formation process. Even though I celebrate the fluidity of cultural identity, in this document, I also recognize that segments of our identities are socially constructed and thus `fixed' in this sense. I also attempted to the illustrate the tension between the shapeshifting nature of diasporic queer identities and the diasporic queer experiences that are dictated and shaped by the rigid identity categories that are set and exercised by western societies, such as ethnicity, race, gender, and nationality. Clearly, these societal constructs often structures the diasporic experiences, even though diasporic queer bodies often challenge the power of these constructs.

Ciberespaço e sociabilidade: um estudo de caso do sítio "Agenda do samba e do choro" / Ciberspace and sociability: a case study of the site Agenda of the Samba and ChoroGiovana Azevedo Pampanelli Lucas 01 March 2005 (has links)
A Comunicação Mediada por Computador (CMC) inaugurou uma nova forma de sociabilidade que transpôs a interação e a constituição dos laços sociais para um novo suporte: o ciberespaço. A hipótese deste trabalho é de que as tecnologias de comunicação podem configurar novos espaços de sociabilidade, inaugurando novas práticas de estar com o outro, e, inclusive, propiciar uma aproximação local. O objetivo é investigar se o ciberespaço é uma ferramenta que pode fazer emergir laços sociais que se refletem no espaço físico, não o substituindo, mas o completando. Para isso foi realizado um estudo de caso da Tribuna (lista de discussão) do sítio: Agenda do Samba e do Choro. A lista de discussão foi acompanhada durante três meses em agosto, outubro e novembro. Foram utilizados três instrumentos de pesquisa: a análise de entrevistas coletadas no dia da festa de aniversário da Agenda no Rio de Janeiro-RJ, a análise dos e-mails trocados entre os participantes da lista e, por último, a análise dos questionários enviados aos membros da Tribuna. Os resultados sugeriram que os relacionamentos constituídos na Tribuna podem extrapolar para o mundo físico e que há uma necessidade por parte dos participantes de que o convívio social seja experimentado também fisicamente. Também foi observado que os encontros físicos não deixam de acontecer quando se utiliza a Internet e muito menos que esta destrói a sociabilidade contemporânea. O resultado sugere ainda que existe a partilha de um mesmo território seja ele concreto ou imaterial impulsionado, no caso da Tribuna, pela troca de informação sobre samba e choro. / The Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) inaugurated a new sociability way that transposed the interaction and the social relations formation for a new support: the cyberspace. The hypothesis of this work is communication technologies may configure new sociability spaces, inaugurating new experiences to be with someone else, and providing a local approximation. The objective is investigate if the cyberspace is a tool that may appear social relations, which reflect at physical space, not replacing it, but completing it. For that was executed a case study from sites Tribuna (discussion list) Agenda do Samba e do Choro. The discussion list was studied for three months August, October and November. Three research tools were used: the interviews analysis collected during the Agenda anniversary party in Rio de Janeiro RJ, changed e-mails analysis between the Tribunas users and questionnaires analysis sent to the list members. The results suggested that the relationships made in Tribuna may cross to the physical world and there is a members necessity social living to be physically experimented. As well noticed the physical meetings continue to happen when the Internet is used and the contemporary sociability is not destroyed. The result suggests that still exists experience of the same territory - concrete or immaterial stimulated, in the Tribunas case, by the samba and choro information exchange.
