Em quatro anos de pesquisa sobre redes sociais no Brasil – considerando aspectos da interação na web e os efeitos do predomínio de imagens fotográficas entre nós – inscreve-se um conjunto simbólico de experiências e narrativas. O que significam em matéria de linguagem e compreensão do mundo? Por que as redes sociais da web fazem tanto sucesso na sociedade brasileira?
