PEREIRA, Vanessa Andrade. Between games and folgações: Anthropological notes in the lan house. Etnográfica [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.2, pp.327-352. ISSN 0873-6561.
This article wants to describe the interaction process of the anthropologist with teenagers in a lan house in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. First, the study will point out the peculiarities of the lan house, its location in the neighbourhood, as well as the everyday life of the young people who use this space for online playing or just for sociability. Secondly, it will discuss as youth people establish their sense of belonging and strengthen their social bounds through the folgações (joking relationships) and their online interactions in the MMORPG Tibia game.
