Comunicação e interação feminina em jogos de tiro on-line: o caso Fortnite

Abstract

This present paper is about a research that seeks to analyze and understand how female communication and interaction takes place in virtual environments such as electronic games, specifically Fortnite. Regarding the theoretical basis, contributions from Pierre Lévy on cyberculture, cyberspace and cyberdemocracy, Marcos Palácios on virtual communities, Manuel Castells with the network society and other authors related to the area were used. For this study, a bibliographic review about the theme was carried out, as well as the application of a structured questionnaire for the participants. From the application of the form, it was identified that women know and even use the game’s own language to communicate, in addition to being in that space to have fun talking with other people.
