Práticas de escrita de alunos do Curso de Letras da UFC em interação on-line nos contextos do meio digital

Abstract

The study analyzed how the different writing practices from Literature Course / Federal University of Ceará students in online interaction occurred in contexts of Reading and Academic Production Texts (RAPT). This research has as an ethnographic approach, through participant observation, following the routine, the schedule, the daily activities of these students, observing the different contexts, that underlie the analysis from a semester of observations and sharing experiences in which I described the context from the representations of the ones involved in the research and their writing practices. Data collection has had five moments: a) observation of Literature Course / Federal University of Ceará students in various situations of their academic life at the university (classroom, laboratory, canteen ); b) accompaniment of the students in the development of the classes of Reading and Academic Production Texts (RAPT) (semester 2015.1 ); c) analysis of the development of the research project on Google Drive tool for the students of RAPT discipline; d) observation of the writings of members of RAPT discipline in different situations, uses and directions to interlocutors on Facebook social network; e) conversations and integration of knowledge between four students of this discipline with the formation of focus groups. For the analyzes, I guided myself in theoretical foundations of Goffman (2003, 2009, 2012, 2015) Nunes (2007) and Vygotsky (2007). They all discuss about the interactions and behavior. The empirical data allowed me to support the study of categories that guide this research. At first, Collaborative interactions: formal versus informal, different interactions between the Literature Course students could be seen, which occurred collaboratively, sometimes formal, sometimes informal, in the digital environment. The second, hierarchy relations in academic writing, it is justified that the dialogic writing is derived from formal and informal principles in social interactions mediated by power relations between the interlocutors. In the third, the writing and the communication context, it became apparent that the construction of writing in digital media comes from writing building differentiation to be presented at a given time of online communication. Thus, this research allowed me to consider how social interactions mediate the writing process and that there are valuation hierarchies of these processes in the digital environment in the academic institutional context. In this perspective, at Literature Course, it permeates values and references in the writing practices of a formal writing, institutionalized by the academy, establishing a hierarchy of values in certain productions of these students.
