Resumo: Orkut is a virtual relationship network through which it is possible to identify a system of classification determined by the way users interact inside of the communities. The wannabee is one of the types that are part of this universe. The main goals of this article are to analyze how adolescence constructs its identity from distinction and social control processes in the Internet, taking the aspects related to gender and body as central issues for discussion, and to reflect on the meanings attributed, in this phase of life, to concepts as “life style” and “mood”, inside two types of virtual communities: the “gothics”, urban tribe representative of one given femininity, and the “pro-anas”, strictly virtual, that defends anorexic practices as a life style.

O wannabe é um dos tipos que fazem parte desse universo. Os principais objetivos deste artigo são analisar de que forma a adolescência constrói sua identidade a partir de processos de distinção e controle social na Internet, tomando os aspectos relacionados ao gênero e ao corpo como centrais para a discussão, e refletir sobre os significados atribuídos, nessa fase da vida, a conceitos como “estilo de vida” e “estado de espírito” dentro de dois tipos de comunidades virtuais: a dos “góticos”, tribo urbana detentora de uma dada feminilidade, e a das “pró-anas”, estritamente virtual, que defende as práticas da anorexia como um estilo de vida.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2007-05-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X200700020000510.1590/S0104-026X2007000200005Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2007); 357Revista Estudos Feministas; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2007); 357Revista Estudos Feministas; v. 15 n. 2 (2007); 3571806-95840104-026Xreponame:Revista Estudos Feministasinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/article/view/S0104-026X2007000200005/1785Copyright (c) 2018 Revista Estudos Feministasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPereira, Cláudia da Silva2020-01-30T09:08:06Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/2106Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/ref/oai||ref@cfh.ufsc.br1806-95840104-026Xopendoar:2022-11-21T11:37:20.291223Revista Estudos Feministas - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)true
