Resumo: | This article is the result of a study conducted from 2011 to 2013 on social networks. The problem in that study was to identify the profile of the Brazilian bibliographic production on the subject and the possibilities of using that space to promote health. Because it was an exploratory-descriptive study, no initial hypotheses were established. The theoretical study allowed identifying historical relations between the concept and natural sciences, anthropology, and philosophy; however, it revealed a contradiction regarding the concept of social network and the individual and collective experience in current society. In a second phase, we identified research groups in Brazil which investigate subjects correlated with social networks. In short, the result regarding such groups showed that the dominant knowledge areas were communication (39.7%) and education (33.3%). As to the region, groups based in southeast Brazil predominate (44.2%), and, in terms of institution, the Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (17.4%) and the Universidade de São Paulo (13.9%) predominate. Among the themes described in each group, the analysis categories “Social and economic questions” (9.7%) and “Social and cultural transformations” (9%) presented significance in relation with the other categories, thus showing a profile of Brazilian research with a strong social component. |

Este artigo é resultado de pesquisa realizada entre os anos de 2011 e 2013, cujo tema foi redes sociais. O problema de pesquisa era identificar o perfil da produção bibliográfica brasileira sobre o referido tema e possibilidades para uso desse espaço na promoção da saúde. Por se tratar de pesquisa de cunho exploratório e descritivo, não foram estabelecidas hipóteses iniciais. O estudo teórico permitiu identificar relações históricas do conceito com as ciências naturais e também com estudos da antropologia e da filosofia; porém evidenciou uma contradição em relação ao conceito de rede social e à experiência individual e coletiva na sociedade atual. Numa segunda etapa, identificaram-se os grupos de pesquisa no Brasil que investigam temáticas relacionadas com as redes sociais. Sinteticamente, o resultado em relação a tais grupos mostrou que as áreas de conhecimento predominantes foram a comunicação (39,7%) e educação (33,3%). Quanto à região, houve predominâncias de grupos instalados no sudeste (44,2%) e, em termos de instituição, uma predominância da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (17,4%) e da Universidade de São Paulo (13,9%). Dos temas descritos em cada um dos grupos, as categorias analíticas “Questões econômicas e sociais” (9,7%) e “Transformações sociais e culturais” (9%) apresentaram significância em relação às demais, mostrando um perfil das pesquisas brasileiras com forte componente social.
