Rekonstrukcja przejawów e-kultury dziecięcej generowanej w cyfrowej przestrzeni bycia razem. Doniesienie z badań netnograficznych

The aim of a study was to reconstruct manifestations of children’s e-culture generated in the course of children’s Internet communication at selected web sites (Facebook, MovieStarPlanet, Gry.pl). Data were accumulated in a netnographic manner. Processing (text, visual and audio-visual) data and their interpretation was performed by a qualitative content analysis, which revealed many peculiar manifestations of children’s culture. This includes an absence of temporal and spatial boundaries of children’s culture, the mediated nature of its members’ contacts, the involvement of children in the network, the existence of culture in external memory, the electronic character of culture creations and their ephemeral and peculiar nature. This indicates the new, digital nature of children’s culture, which seems to produce an increase in children’s community-related actions and strengthens their autonomy and their resistance potential towards the school and increases their participation in the digital culture, which serves to break down barriers between children.
