摘要：The way young people have taken over the technologies of information and communication technology (ICT) has been as much the target of strongly biased criticism as it has been the object of systematic research. The critics argue that with the spread of the Internet young people have reduced the practice of reading and subjected themselves to a single, limited form of writing, incapable of adapting to different contexts and genres of discourse. Polls indicate however, that young people in Brazil and around the world have appropriated ICT as a means towards constructing identities and establishing forms of sociability based on new and multiple types of communication. This article is based on two pieces of research. The first, completed in 2007 aimed to analyze the effects of the work of producing content for personal blogs on the processes of identity construction and configuration of sociability of young adolescents. The second completed its first stage in 2009 and has constructed a balance sheet of what is known about youth’s digital practices seeking to map out the ways the Internet is used outside of the school environment. Such studies make it possible to delineate the formative role of these new ways of self-narration and also to cast doubt on the idea of their impoverishment of written forms of expression among young people.
