Resumo: Counting on the possibility of virtual classrooms in which text, audio and video converge, in sole platforms of communication, I defend the virtual learning environments (VLEs) confi gured in these platforms (course management systems) should be considered virtual learning communities, which emerge from the agents’ actions in the environment. In this paper, I present the investigation of a virtual learning community in terms of the emerging dynamics, which are related to discourse practices. To carry out the research, I have followed the premises of the Genre Theory, by Swales (1990, 1998, 2004) and of the Complexity Paradigm. The study consists of a descriptive research of qualitative nature and is of virtual ethnography (Hine, 2000) orientation. After analyzing the textual production in the links Profile, Journal, E-mail, Forum and Chat, I have noticed that the features of oral and written discourses have merged in the textual production of the discourse community; that different genres have nested in the available niches; and that the communicative purpose has been depicted as an important part of this complex net.Key words: virtual learning communities, genres, Complexity.

Neste artigo, apresento a investigação de uma comunidade virtual de aprendizagem no que se refere a dinâmicas emergentes, em termos de práticas discursivas. Para conduzir a pesquisa, segui os pressupostos da Teoria dos Gêneros, de Swales (1990, 1998, 2004) e do Paradigma da Complexidade. O estudo constituiu-se uma pesquisa descritiva de natureza qualitativa e de orientaçãoetnográfica virtual (Hine, 2000). Após analisar a produção textual nos links Perfil, Diário de bordo, Correio, Fórum e Bate-papo, observei que características dos discursos oral e escrito se mesclaram na produção textual dos membros da comunidade discursiva; diferentes gêneros encaixaram-se nos diferentes suportes; e o propósito comunicativo se mostrou parte importante dessa rede complexa.Palavras-chave: comunidades virtuais de aprendizagem, gêneros, Complexidade.Unisinos2012-11-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/1768Calidoscópio; Vol. 10 No. 3 (2012): September/December; 256-269Calidoscópio; v. 10 n. 3 (2012): Setembro/Dezembro; 256-2692177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/1768/1281Souza, Valeska Virgínia Soaresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-12-27T19:09:19Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/1768Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2012-12-27T19:09:19Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
