SUMMARY:

Digital media have been considered as promoters of news properties and dynamics of social belonging. Considering their characteristics of ubiquity, speed of connection, interactivity and participatory culture, they print behavioral values, thus constituting an important influence on child development in contemporary society. In the context of digital social networks, with the dynamics of virtual spaces, webcelebrities appear, ordinary people who become known from the Internet and who become targets of interest and appreciation by countless followers, whose narratives are inserted in a context cultural and socioeconomic background. In the analysis of webcelebrities, their power of “affectation” should not be understood as one singular gift, but as traits and values built in line with what a given society, at a given moment, values. The research consists in a qualitative study of multiple cases, assuming a developmental perspective, with four children between the ages of 9 and 12, who have access to the content of digital media, interact with webcelebrities and were available to participate voluntarily in there search. It is based on some theoretical-conceptual assumptions of Semiotic Cultural Psychology. For the understanding of the specificity of children's culture, the studies of the Sociology of Childhood were the basis. Its general objective is to describe and analyze the meanings productions of themselves and the world from the interaction of children with webcelebrities in virtual diaries. As aninvestigation strategy, we opted for participant observation and semi-structured dialogued interviews to clarify aspects that did not emerge or were not understood in the observation. The data produced were transcribed in full, and were organized and analyzed in the light of theoretical assumptions of semiotic cultural psychology. From an academic point of view, this research is justified in so far as it has the potential to contribute to filling some gaps found in the literature in Psychology about the relationship of children with digital media and, in particular, with 11 webcelebrities. As for its social character, this research intends to analyze the processes involved in the construction of subjectivity during a child developmental period, which may provide subsidies for the understanding of regulators that promote human development in situations of digital social interaction.
