EMERGING DIGITAL GENRES FANFICS, VLOGS, WIKIS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES

Abstract

Fanfics, vlogs and wikis are textual genres recognized by the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) under the designation of digital genres, emerging as a result of technological advances. The rise of new media and the innovations provided by the use of the internet raise questions in the academic environment: are these genuinely digital genres or adaptations of preexisting textual genres? Such questions justify the elaboration of this study, whose main objective is to understand the relationship between technological advances and the digital genres contemplated in the BNCC. The research, in its first stage, takes a qualitative approach based on bibliographic research, based on theorists, whose contributions subsidize the proposed discussion. The study highlights the uniqueness of the digital genre’s fanfics, vlogs and wikis in relation to other textual genres, since they demand mastery of specific knowledge and skills related to the use of social networks and digital platforms, consolidating themselves as a reference in contemporary discussions on textual production and consumption. Furthermore, it is noted that such genres find in new technologies an innovative means of communication, reconfiguring sociocultural practices and discursive interactions in the digital scenario.
