Abstract

The Audiovisual field is shaping up as a scenery full of constant changes and fluid relations among its media, as with Cinema and Television. This is due mainly to the media convergence phenomenon which has beem acting on the flow of content produced for these media. The audiovisual content is often the subject of debates and discussions between cybercinephiles, seriéfilos, fans and anyone who wants to emit information about the topics. These changes, brought about through the internet and new digital technologies, has enabled these subjects build a unique relationship with the audiovisual product. In order to understand how this phenomenon happens, we started out from the factors consumption, sharing and production to analyze how develop the interactions between subjects and audiovisual works, with the north laws of cyberculture suggested by André Lemos (2003). This resulted in the mapping of those practices and in the classification of groups found. In addition to following the participant observer method, we took on the Grounded Theory (GLASSER; STRAUSS, 2006), to collect and analyze the material. The results found were the discovery of more practices and more subjects acting within the audiovisual and contributing to the community that revolves around these issues. It came to our knowledge that the way to consume, share and produce audiovisual material has been changing. The strenght of amateurs networks present on the internet is largely influential in this process which, taking into account the transition phase, tends to an even greater transformation.
