http://www.it.murdoch.edu.au/catac/catac98/pdf/15_nocera.pdf

The present work has as a principal goal to assess the sociopsychological and cultural (symbols and meanings) realities of the virtual community group life framed in the Latin American context. Using a comparative ethnographic study of several Latin virtual communities, the sociopsychological and cultural phenomena of the virtual group in the sense expressed by Harré (1979), will be described.
