Resumo: | This research aimed to analyze the meanings that permeate collector’s practices when collecting fountain pens. Based on a nethnography conducted in a social network group of collectors, interactions and interviews were carried for data collection. Main findings showed that, for the collector, the object’s meanings are built on the continuous socialization of information and images about fountain pens mediated by cyberspace. These practices reinforce the meanings of being a collector and underline shared beliefs and narrow consumption patterns. Displaying the possessed objects means the acceptance ritual in a specific group and this belonging results in social recognition and reputation to the possessor. The studied virtual community is a space for resignification of collecting practices, reinforcing the sense of fellowship among members. Fear of decreasing the collection, financial problems, nostalgia, heritage, search for immortality, hobbies, possessiveness, passion, passing rituals, relatives’ criticism, and constant escapes from reality were identified in these collecting practices. This research has, as main contribution to theory, is that we identified how collectors built the meaning of collecting fountain pens and socializing their pieces/histories thanks to the mediated way of meaning construction. Through the internet and specialized communities, collectors found a way of building and strengthening the meaning and their beliefs in a way that they would not do in real life. |

Con base en una netnografía realizada en un grupo de coleccionistas de una red social, se realizaron interacciones y entrevistas para la recolección de datos. Los principales hallazgos mostraron que, para el coleccionista, los significados del objeto se construyen a partir de la continua socialización de información e imágenes sobre las plumas estilográficas mediada por el ciberespacio. Estas prácticas refuerzan los significados de ser coleccionista y subrayan creencias compartidas y patrones de consumo direccionados. Exhibir los objetos poseídos significa el ritual de aceptación en un grupo específico y esta pertenencia resulta en reconocimiento social y reputación al poseedor. La comunidad virtual estudiada es un espacio de resignificación de las prácticas de coleccionismo, reforzando el sentido de fraternidad entre los miembros. En estas prácticas de coleccionismo se identificaron el miedo a la disminución de la colección, los problemas económicos, la nostalgia, el patrimonio, la búsqueda de la inmortalidad, el pasatiempo, la posesividad, la pasión, los rituales de pasage, las críticas de los familiares y las fugas constantes de la realidad. Esta investigación ha tenido, como principal aporte a la teoría, que identificamos cómo los coleccionistas construyen el significado de coleccionar plumas estilográficas y socializan sus piezas/historias gracias a la forma mediada de construcción de significado. A través de internet y comunidades especializadas, los coleccionistas encontraron una manera de construir y fortalecer el significado y sus creencias de una forma que no lo harían en la vida real.Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar os significados que permeiam as práticas do colecionador ao colecionar canetas-tinteiro. A partir de uma netnografia realizada em um grupo de colecionadores de uma rede social, foram realizadas interações e entrevistas para coleta de dados. Os principais resultados mostraram que, para o colecionador, os significados do objeto são construídos na contínua socialização de informações e imagens sobre canetas tinteiro mediadas pelo ciberespaço. Essas práticas reforçam os significados de ser colecionador e reforçam crenças compartilhadas e padrões de consumo direcionados. Exibir os objetos possuídos significa o ritual de aceitação em um grupo específico e esse pertencimento resulta em reconhecimento social e reputação ao possuidor. A comunidade virtual estudada é um espaço de ressignificação das práticas de colecionismo, reforçando o sentimento de companheirismo entre os membros. Medo de diminuir a coleção, problemas financeiros, nostalgia, patrimônio, busca pela imortalidade, hobbies, possessividade, paixão, rituais de passagem, críticas de parentes e fugas constantes da realidade foram identificados nessas práticas de colecionismo. Esta pesquisa tem, como principal contribuição para a teoria, identificar como os colecionadores construíram o sentido de colecionar canetas tinteiro e socializar suas peças/histórias graças à forma mediada de construção de sentido. Por meio da internet e comunidades especializadas, os colecionadores encontraram uma forma de construir e fortalecer o significado e suas crenças de uma forma que não fariam na vida real.Research, Society and Development2022-07-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3176010.33448/rsd-v11i9.31760Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 9; e17511931760Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 9; e17511931760Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 9; e175119317602525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/31760/27033Copyright (c) 2022 Marcos Ferasso; Shalimar Gallon; Jandir Paulihttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerasso, MarcosGallon, ShalimarPauli, Jandir2022-07-21T12:36:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/31760Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:47:59.614386Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
