Netnografia, Consumidor, Internet, Mídias sociaisResumo
Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a netnografia como metodologia inserida na perspectiva cultural dos estudos do consumo, discutindo sua origem, características, etapas de implementação e seus desafios, além de propor oportunidades de estudos futuros.
Método: O artigo é um ensaio teórico realizado a partir de uma reflexão crítica das autoras com base em uma revisão de literatura sobre a netnografia como metodologia de pesquisa.
Originalidade/Relevância: Consumidores, cada vez mais, deixam rastros de suas narrativas nas diversas plataformas online existentes, o que significa informação valiosa para gestores e pesquisadores. Entretanto, a netnografia, metodologia que busca interpretar as comunicações humanas mediadas por tecnologias, tem sido relativamente pouco utilizada no ambiente acadêmico brasileiro. O artigo traz uma estruturação detalhada das etapas da netnografia, considerando sua origem e desenvolvimento, visando a ampliar sua utilização por pesquisadores brasileiros.
Resultados: Com base em reflexões sobre a literatura existente, o artigo apresenta as 12 fases da netnografia, discute os principais aspectos éticos da metodologia e sugere uma agenda de pesquisa.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Ampliar o uso da netnografia, a partir de uma perspectiva humanista, sobretudo em estudos brasileiros.
