The domestic service sector in Argentina is significant for many women workers. It is a highly feminized sector, closely tied to caregiving, and extremely diverse due to the variety of tasks, work modalities, and hours involved. Performed behind "closed doors", this profession inherently faces challenges in unionization and collective organization. This article analyzes the experiences of organization and collective participation sustained through digital mediation by paid domestic workers. The study ethnographically examines two organizations in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires mediated by digital technologies: a small traditional union holding online assemblies via Facebook and a non-unionized workers' WhatsApp group. The common thread is that engagement and participation were made possible through the use of socio-digital platforms. Several questions are explored through participant observation in these spaces: How do workers experience participation in collective spaces mediated by digital technologies? What are the scope and limitations of using these platforms in their daily lives and union participation? What other forms of political-union participation exist in virtual interstices? The creation of political-union networks has great potential as they can alter workers' material conditions and defend their labor rights. They can also serve as spaces for recognition and self-valuation that transform how workers perceive themselves and their fellow workers as a collective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Roads have recently begun to be valued as a heritage resource that transcends being considered solely as an infrastructure linked to the anthropization of the territory. Currently, there are few methodological proposals for their heritage characterization. Therefore, this article shows the design and application of an interdisciplinary methodology supported by Virtual Ethnography and based on a historical-cartographic analysis that allows recording and categorizing representation typologies associated with the evolution of roads. The lake region of Patzcuaro, Mexico, is taken as a case study. Its historical-cartographic analysis through virtual ethnography allows identifying typologies of representation associated not only with the historical evolution of roads but also with their ties to the anthropization of the lake setting. The cartography, in the contemporary period, shows roads as a mere infrastructure and makes the lake villages visible as separate pieces for cultural tourism. With the application of this methodology, it is confirmed that cartography is a strategic tool and that its evolution has made it possible to establish that, historically, roads have been a backbone in the management and development of this territory in different historical processes. Its validity is a reflection of the fact that this region is still valid, given its current transfer to cultural tourism. It is important to make visible that it is these populations as a whole that confer a cultural identity to the lake region and that the roads are the means that have allowed this territory to evolve historically considering the needs of its population, a situation that justifies its consideration as a heritage corridor.

In recent years, interest in the study of misogyny has increased, as a consequence of social changes related to the visibility of this issue and the emergence of new forms of misogyny with the arrival of the Internet and digital violences. In this context, we offer the methodological detail of two studies on misogyny and we reflect on the proposal of feminist research for its study. We begin by explaining the proposal of the feminist affective methodology, which served to study lad culture, a set of misogynistic practices that occur in British university settings. Then, we revise a research based on feminist digital ethnography aimed at understanding the role of misogynistic digital subcultures in the Spanish manosphere in the normalization and legitimization of sexual violence committed against women.

This article analyzes an experience of methodological adaptation, implemented in a research study carried out in the midst of a health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of our study was to analyze the interactions between psychosocial and legal professionals in justice institutions in two Chilean regions, using a face-to-face and in situ ethnographic methodological design. However, as a result of the change in working conditions brought about by the restrictions on people's mobility and presence in these environments, we found it necessary to evaluate how to continue the ethnographic work under these limitations. Through constant reflection and analysis of our experiences in implementing this research, we designed a virtual ethnography that addressed both synchronous and asynchronous instances. We conclude that the use of virtual methodologies renders the rapport with the informants fundamental for the dialectic reconstruction of the story, where, as suggested by Tim Ingold, field notes are a key factor to build the atmosphere. We also highlight the importance of making methodological instruments more flexible and of constantly considering ways of adapting them to contexts of restricted on-site and face-to-face access. Finally, this article contributes to discussions on virtual ethnographies insofar as it presents a possibility to discover new ways of conducting ethnography in multisite contexts and in crisis. Many of these, we believe, will remain and will be an integral part of research work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The growing importance of the field of the collaborative economy is associated with the growth of the technological platforms that develop their business model in this sector. These companies occupy a central position in this space and accumulate more and more power to define the space of possibilities of the practices that fit in the collaborative economy. Of all of them, the European company Blablacar seems to occupy a privileged place in this sector. His position is reinforced by a discourse steeped in collaborative rhetoric. This factor, the speech, is a hallmark of these companies. Its objective is to try to frame the business model in a different space from that of more conventional capitalism. However, our analysis of this discourse allows us to identify philosophical and ideological assumptions far removed from altruistic values. On the contrary, it induces a series of surveillance tasks between users to be carried out. Second, the analysis by means of virtual ethnography of its reputation systems allows us to point out the importance of the hidden work on which the sector is sustained. The different dimensions of this hidden work are analyzed. Finally, it is suggested the need, if rigor is to be preserved, to stop using any reference to the term collaborative in the analyzes of this platform or of others based on similar conditions.

Internet is a space for interaction, a social place where virtual communities are formed. Many daily activities are complemented or developed there entirely. Therefore, scientific research must try to understand what happens in cyberspace and netnography is a useful method for that purpose. This paper presents its definition, characteristics and the procedure for its application. In tourism, travelers usually share their experiences, feelings and needs through the Internet, mainly in forums and social media. Netnography turns out to be a tool for its better understanding, given its qualitative nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to determine the use of the social network Twitter by the councilors of Bucaramanga as public servants and leaders of local opinion, through hyper-textuality, popularity, interactivity, participation, multimediality and interaction. Methodology: Netnography was used with mixed techniques: semi-structured interview and application of Twitter's Global index of Potential Persuasive. Results: It was found that the Council in its public dissemination process uses a website, with updated information about its activities. Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are used, but interaction and use of them are low. Fourteen of the nineteen councilors have a Twitter account, three of them are users, and the content disseminated about their legislative exercise is limited; the published media content is limited, as well as responses and interactions with users. Conclusions: It is concluded that the immersion in public communication of digital platforms and social networks is advancing to guide and disseminate politics, and more from the legislative field. This aspect has been already understood by local and global rulers. The councilors, who participated in this research, felt resistant towards the use of Twitter to focus on issues unrelated to their role as councilors and as such, miss a great opportunity in the use of microblogging, to make proposals related to social affairs, and to contribute from their Twitter account to consolidate their image and validity within the public and electoral sphere.

Frequent users of profane and socially damn practices meet each other in the online world, forming communities that would hardly have emerged outside the network. Through virtual ethnography it is possible to have an unique knowledge about these phenomena. However, because of their peculiarities and virtual ethnography's itself, it is necessary a methodological reflection. In this article different issues are examined, such as the field of observation, ethnographic logic, the debate between documentary revision and digital ethnography, and the authenticity of results. The suitability of ethnography for the described research object type becomes obvious, as the need of keeping a prudent epistemological surveillance and a permanent reflection about the role of the investigator and ethical issues. Internet is not only a new scenery for applying the ethnographic method but also a great chance for rethinking ethnography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is based on research whose main objective was to identify strategies for the inclusion of women in different brand communities and branding strategies based on the functional design of their profiles in general social networks. Here, special attention is paid to methodological aspects, both in terms of field work carried out and in the analysis of the study of network ethnography (Netnography), which allowed the development of the study. For the collection of the information, a virtual observation protocol was developed from a previous exploratory field work, and the data obtained were treated both from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. The conclusions highlight those innovative methodological aspects for social media research, as well as some of its main recommendations, in favor of functional designs of more gender-inclusive social networks.

This research analyzes the naturalization and strengthening of the culture of violence in Colombia within the framework of virtual environments, specifically on Facebook. The work corpus consists of publications (videos and photos) whose content denounces alleged thieves through pages or groups dedicated to the "lynching" of alleged criminals in Colombia. The results that are presented correspond to the analysis of user comments on Facebook during the second half of 2015 on the Facebook pages "Report Los Ladrones De Bogotá" and "Ladrones Agarrados Colombia". The methodology used in this study is the "virtual ethnography" model that is developed based on the proposal of Christine Hine and that is combined with the analysis of content based on the organization and ranking of the corpus of comments through the AntConc software. The participation of the ethnographer in digital conversations with "trigger interventions" is also implemented. The monitoring that is done to the community and the comments is ethnographic.

By examining the results obtained in the framework of a doctoral thesis on the political participation of people in informal settlements in the periphery of Buenos Aires (Argentina), this article reflects on the relevance of the use of ethnography in political science. From an innovative perspective with an approach to grounded theory, it is suggested that this combination allows the theory to advance in less developed subjects within the discipline. More specifically, an introduction to the topic of political participation is made and the advantages of the proposed approach are described. Finally, the possibility of complementing ethnography and grounded theory with other tools and methods for data collection tools is suggested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this work is to present an approach to the discussions on the implementation of the ethnographic method to the study of community bonds in cyberspace. The need for such an approach is due to the fact that, in Argentina, it can be seen a sparse and scattered academic production regarding cybercultures, yet in the contemporary context of increasing digitization and convergence where everyday interactions via the Internet are established as one of the central dimensions of sociocultural life. Therefore, here is proposed a possible bibliography around the conceptual discussions and methodological reflections that, both in the Anglo and Hispanic academy, have been taking place from anthropology, sociology, and communication, about what "virtual ethnography" (Hine, 2004) implies.

This paper is about the relationships dynamics in the virtuality of the gamers into the massively multiplayer online role-playing game "Perfect World" in the not ocifial latinamerican server "Comunidad Zero". The main objective of this study is to describe the dynamics of the relationships, analyzing them from the context of the game using the virtual ethnography, understanding the emotional interactions between couples, through a case study. During the development of research, were found several categories related to affective interactions of pre-attachment, manifested in virtual environments of the game and that ultimately manage to simulate the engagement dynamics of the physical contexts.

Digital discourse is a methodological challenge for discourse analysis. There are many aspects in the access to sample of languages which implicate difficulties for further analysis. The private nature of digital interactions causes that the analyst must design complex protocols for the collection of data. The article discusses the technique of participant observer for the study of groups of WhatsApp. A review of the theoretical forms of data collection used in the previous literature is done, and based on that, we describe the protocol implemented in a research framed in CoDiCE.The results are evidence of the viability of this technique to make private interaction studies.

Virtual ethnography originated when researchers began to show an interest in the phenomenon that represents the generation of spaces of sociality as a product of the configuration of virtual communities in the Internet. It is this technology which favors the emergence of channels of communication that enhance interactivity, whether asynchronous or synchronous, through electronic mail, wikis, social networks, forums, collaboration networks, and even educational platforms where other resources are used such as virtual classrooms, video conferencing and instant messaging. All of these scenarios have been studied to analyze how people relate in social, affective and cognitive terms. In this context it can be said that in studies related to phenomena or processes mediated by TICs there have been emergent themes for virtual ethnographic analysis, so in this paper we review the contribution of anthropology to the study of cybercultures through a brief conceptual review of virtual ethnography, including the state of its understanding of methodological design, as well as some recommendations for its implementation, as part of ongoing research in the program of the Doctorate in Systems and Educational Environments at the University of Veracruz.

This paper develops an approach to the concept of "virtual community" from a theoretical dimension, in that it attempts to confront the elements and main questions of this notion in the context of relationships established among Colombians on Facebook, within the cities of Bahia Blanca, La Plata and Buenos Aires (Argentina). The goal is to understand the relationship between offline environments and the possibilities that these types of gatherings and social-virtual interactions can provide to its members. Using virtual ethnography as a method of participatory observation of inter-textuality allows for the identification, based on the perception of some of the participants in such groups, of the motivations for joining, the assumed sense of belonging to these groups and the influence of their offline lives, with respect to the possibilities that these groups have for the inclusion of its members.

This article presents new paradigms for the construction of a link between emotion and identity in digital communities. To this end, we offer an analysis of some of the social processes and experiences tested by the users of these digital spaces, achieved through a qualitative ethnological work. These life stories are articulated over strategies and tactics of negotiation through which these users are shaping their identity, either following their own point of view or that of the community that take them in. To render adequately the complexity of these processes we will try to make visible the role that emotions play within these digital practices by focusing on the effects produced in social relationships in terms of inclusion and exclusion, through the case of the digital suicide.

This paper explores the dynamics of identity construction and representation forms of the gamer culture. It deepens in the relevant social groups, in real-virtual spaces and in the entertainment industries as well as other elements integrating this cyberculture. The article analyzes the set of actors, human and non-human, that shapes the Ecuadorian gamer environment and, in turn, structures their identity and the ways of representing. This paper considers that the identity and representation of Ecuadorian gamers is built by a tension of codes resulting of the social and virtual environments -- both multidimensional and complex -- that is necessary to unravel and understand in its density.

El artículo presenta un análisis sobre las páginas Web con contenido pro-anorexia. Dichos materiales electrónicos se caracterizan por promover la anorexia como un posible estilo de vida, en lugar de una conducta patológica y perjudicial. Hoy en día éste constituye un fenómeno internacional, cuya difusión ha alcanzado materiales electrónicos muy variados, que han conformado una expresión de una nueva ideología.

Transnational families originating from Mexico State and with final employment place in the United States, have ventured in the appropriation and use of new technologies of information and communication (NTIC) to enhance their complex intra and extra familiar relationships in their environments of origin and destination. This intense two-way relationship of migrant families, which share two cultures and recreate two national identities, are mediated by the use of the NICTs, virtual exchanges that make up new cultural traits that cover different areas of family life, starting with the technological learning, which induces the establishment of virtual and real relationships that affect the organization and family at the time, and in transnational space. This type of transnational families, we have called them "virtual migrant families", because of the intensity with they use cyberspace, family relationships established by the netizens, and the construction and deconstruction that their members make migration occur in different territorial areas. These features present in globalization, are likely to be studied from the perspective of the cybersocioanthropology. From this, this text presents the theoretical and conceptual elaborations, working together with the method of virtual ethnography, were used for the knowledge of the trans-cultural dynamics of transnational migrant families that have appropriating technology for use in virtual environments.

The massive use of virtual environments in our everyday life has produced an important literature about the social and cultural transformations it implies. The most relevant issue analyzed has been the interaction. In such works it is sustained that virtual environments' interaction is a very volatile, changing, fluid and unstable phenomenon. In the present research it is defended that this event is not a problem in order to produce sociability. The research work is focused on a case analysis: the Estudis d'Humanitats i Filologia forum in UOC (Open University of Catalonia). The methodology implied has been virtual ethnography, and the outcome consists on the definition of three explanatory axes. The first one is called “the body-collective”, and it refers to some kind of substitute of physical body emerges in internet. This axis shows how sense and relevance, and commitment appear in the forum. The second axis is the episode-positioning and the author argues that constitutes the central nucleus of the forum. Through the action of this axis, the forum becomes a social and cultural dimension. The positioning confers sense to the interaction that is developed in each episode. In fact, the episode-positioning is the very sociability, which is configured in each concrete interaction. The third axis refers to “mise en screen”. This neologism makes reference to declarations forum users make up under the possibility they will be read, understand and answered by other users. Moreover, it is necessary to consider that group of declarations as a practice in which user elaborates an image of themselves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
