Abstract
This article studies the new forms of emerging sociability in virtual communities that develop thei activity in the context of what is called “society of flows”. Online communities break the traditional sense of community by establishing a new regime based most of the times on the ephemeral and transitory interests of their users. Likewise, the characteristics that define a virtual 3D world as a community and the types of participation and social organisation that happen within will be explored here using the case of “Second life” as an example.Downloads
