Escritas à deriva: testemunhos efêmeros sobre os tempos da escola nas comunidades do Orkut

Abstract

If in the attempt of evoking the school memories, we open with excitement the pages of the virtual social nets, we will also be able to surprise us with the users' memoirs found in the communities of Orkut; in plots of the school histories, the digital scraps exhibit the former-students' reports, in a true themselves exhibition. This research brings for the discussion the scraps found in Orkut communities of the Colégio Militar do Rio de Janeiro, of the School of São Bento do Rio de Janeiro and of the School Marista São José do Rio de Janeiro, trying to give visibility the those virtual autobiographical narratives about the school life as sources for the history of the Education. How do those users narrate their school histories? Which the most frequent testimonies? All those issues puzzle me about the experiences registered in the virtual communities and how those subjects to undress. In the digital technologies, the user moves on keyboards, screens, leaving registrations of a life, turning, therefore, their visible school histories. The writing, as representation of ideas or words, in the most several supports, it is integral part of a social reality; the subjects also create systems to aid them in the interaction with the other, making possible to think that those written commands, new relationships with the writing; those narratives don't become exhausted in a persuasive textual typology; bows of ideas and affections are observed, approximating the former-students of those virtual social nets. In that sense, those postages constitute links of the memories that are not frightened in counting their histories in those new writing supports. Maybe the longing and the solitude looking for reception and company in the users' clicks, sending them to the last events; therefore, it is possible to think that the former-students share experiences, feelings and you know, blotting borders between the public and the private; in that sense, it is noticed that those autobiographical writings in the communities of Orkut, it shows those subjects in the digital support. Like this, this search to enlarge the work on the places of memoirs of the education, looking for to contribute for the studies in history of the Education.
