Esta dissertação procura analisar, a partir de um estudo exploratório, a “representação
de si” nas redes sociais, mais concretamente em torno dos membros de uma rede
Facebook duma jovem cabo-verdiana a residir em Portugal. A problemática deste
trabalho consiste em reflectir sobre a influência dos percursos individuais dos jovens na
utilização do Facebook. Para isso, tivemos em conta variáveis como o sexo, o lugar de
residência e a actividade académica/profissional, de modo a analisar a forma como são
utilizadas este tipo de redes em contexto transnacional. Usadas sobretudo para estar em
contacto com os familiares e falar com amigos, verificou-se todavia que os utilizadores
recorrem a estratégias diferenciadas de acordo com os perfis individuais, mas também
os contextos colectivos. Os Cabo-verdianos residentes passam menos tempo nessas
redes, por razões sociais, económicas e culturais, do que os seus compatriotas a
residirem em Portugal.

The problematic of this work is to reflect on the influence of individual trajectories of young people in using Facebook . For this, we had taken into consideration several variables such as sex, residence and the academic/ professional activities, in order to analyse how they are used this type of network in s transnational context. Especially used to be in contact with the family and friends, it was discovered that the users access to different strategies according to individual profiles, but also the collective contexts. The Cape Verdean residents spend less time in these networks due by social, economic and cultural reasons, than their compatriots residing in Portugal.
