Estar con los otros: presencias, proximidades y sentidos de vínculo en las redes de bloggers

Abstract

This article sets as central the question about the sense that the networks and relationships with the others have for autobiographical blogs users in Mexico. It is part of a broader research about the senses of autobiographical blogging, in which the findings show that a sense of link with the others is one of the most important for bloggers. Theoretically and methodologically, this study is framed in a sociocultural perspective in communication; it was a qualitative approach, based on virtual ethnography. The results show that most senses attributed to autobiographical blogging are in a relational dimension, which allows setting the blogosphere as a space of relationships, where users can meet and interact, giving rise to other coordinates of operation.
