Resumo: This paper discusses the young youtubers and the modes of being a child promoted by such personalities. Our analysis rests on the YouTube channel Crescendo com Luluca, so as to discuss production of a certain type of subjectivity that we name as the connected child. We consider youtubers as agents that promote certain lifestyles based on the logics of consumption. In our empirical analysis, we highlight three factors that predominate in the production of youtuber Luluca: the use of objects as social markers; the dissemination of aspects related to the daily life of the protagonist; and the use of an informal and relaxed language that can generate closeness between the youtuber and her fan-spectators.

Para isso, tomamos como ponto de análise o canal Crescendo com Luluca, disponível na plataforma do YouTube, para tecer considerações sobre a produção midiática de um tipo de subjetividade que estamos denominando como a criança conectada. Consideramos os youtubers como agentes que promovem certos modos de ser e estilos de vida pautados pelas lógicas do consumo. Nesta nossa análise empírica destacamos três fatores preponderantes nas produções da pequena Luluca: o uso de objetos como marcadores sociais; a tênue fronteira entre a vida privada e pública da youtuber; e o uso de uma linguagem informal e descontraída capaz de gerar proximidade entre a youtuber e seus espectadores-fãsUniversidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2021-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/9435110.19132/1807-8583202152.94351Intexto; No. 52 (2021); 94351Intexto; Núm. 52 (2021); 94351Intexto; No. 52 (2021); 94351Intexto; N. 52 (2021); 94351Intexto; n. 52 (2021); 943511807-8583reponame:Intexto (Porto Alegre)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/94351/57134Copyright (c) 2020 Marcelo de Andrade, Gisela G.
