Resumo: The article studies the communicational and imaginary effects produced by either authentic or fake vlogs on YouTube through some famous cases in the history of that website where people upload and share videos. In many of those audiovisual productions there is a prevalence of indexical signs – the signification that arises from the contact of the sign with its object, such as footprints or symptoms. Nowadays, those signs are in high demand by the audience to satisfy a collective yearning for a body to body contact with the amateur producers – or those who present themselves as such – of autobiographical vlogs. The theoretical approach of Peircean triadic semiotic is used to analyze identity in the age of social d a, and to analyz th publ c’s doubt regarding what is authentic and what is not, the simulation of authenticity, since to entertain such a doubt seems inseparable from this kind of media experience.

Em muitas dessas produções audiovisuais há um predomínio dos signos indiciais – a classe de significação que surge do contato do signo com seu objeto, como as pegadas ou os sintomas. Na época atual, estes signos são muito procurados pelos públicos para satisfazer o interesse coletivo por um corpo a corpo com os realizadores amadores – ou aqueles que se apresentam assim – de vlogs autobiográficos. A abordagem teórica da semiótica triádica de Peirce é usada para a análise da identidade humana na era da internet, e também para uma análise da dúvida sobre o autêntico e seu oposto, o simulado, um elemento inseparável dessa experiência midiática.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2015-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAbordagem qualitativa; análise semióticaapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/5853310.19132/1807-8583201534.79-98Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 79-98Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 79-98Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 79-98Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 79-98Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 79-981807-8583reponame:Intexto (Porto Alegre)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/58533/35870Copyright (c) 2015 Fernando Andachthttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAndacht, Fernando2023-11-24T14:47:10Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/58533Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intextoONGhttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intexto/oai||intexto@ufrgs.br1807-85831807-8583opendoar:2023-11-24T14:47:10Intexto (Porto Alegre) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
