Webdocumentário e as funções para a interação no gênero emergente : análise de Fort McMoney e Bear 71

Abstract

Webdocumentaries are works regarding the historical world developed for distribution and fruition in the World Wide Web. The goal of this paper is to comprehend what kind of participation this new gender proposes for users, tracing a qualitative analysis of interaction in webdocumentaries. Two webdocumentaries with different formats were selected for analyses: Fort McMoney and Bear 71. Both were examined according to the modes of interaction proposed by Gaudenzi (2013), modes of interaction by Nash (2012) and mutual and reactive interaction, defined by Primo (2000, 2011). Following the examination we present a proposal identifying three uses of interaction in webdocumentaries: to reinforce/stablish bond between user and the work/subject depicted, to reinforce the author’s argument, and to share the author’s role.
