Resumo: The article aims to identify the main effects of social networking sites in contemporary culture, taking as its main object the Facebook. As a theoretical and methodological reference, the research adopts an exploratory proposition strongly inspired by a New Science as suggested by McLuhan. It implies the Laws of media, synthesized in the Tetrads (McLuhan McLuhan, 1988). As a result, the study proposes a set of Facebook effects in contemporary culture identified and mapped as new points and questions for future research. The study also presents a method of research which proposes an open dialogue with related disciplines to the field of communication. Moreover, the methodological approach adopted reveals itself as flexible and capable of dealing with depth descriptions of an object, accommodating chance and deviations - different from an orthodox methodological approach - as advocated by Feyerabend. Finally, the study recovers an important part of the work of McLuhan, yet little explored in the Brazilian Communication studies.

Como referência teórica e metodológica adota-se uma proposição exploratória fortemente inspirada em uma “Nova Ciência”, tal como aventada por McLuhan. Isso implica a Lei dos Meios, sintetizada nas Tétrades. Como resultados o estudo propõe um conjunto de efeitos do Facebook na cultura contemporânea, que já podem ser identificados e mapeados e que se constituem como novos pontos e questões para futuras pesquisas. Ainda, apresenta um método de pesquisa que propõe o diálogo com disciplinas correlatas ao campo da comunicação, assim como uma metodologia flexível, capaz de lidar com descrições em profundidade de um objeto, ao mesmo tempo que acolher acasos e desvios de um procedimento científico ortodoxo, tal como preconizado por Feyerabend. Por fim, o estudo recupera uma parte importante da obra de McLuhan, ainda pouco explorada nos estudos comunacionais no Brasil.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2015-12-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/5854210.19132/1807-8583201534.535-552Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 535-552Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 535-552Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 535-552Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 535-552Intexto; Edição especial 20 anos do PPGCOM UFRGS, n. 34, set./dez. 2015.; 535-5521807-8583reponame:Intexto (Porto Alegre)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/intexto/article/view/58542/35514Copyright (c) 2015 Vinícius Andrade Pereirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Vinícius Andrade2023-11-24T14:57:43Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/58542Revistahttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intextoONGhttp://seer.ufrgs.br/intexto/oai||intexto@ufrgs.br1807-85831807-8583opendoar:2023-11-24T14:57:43Intexto (Porto Alegre) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
