Abstract

The consolidation of our information and communication society has established possibilities of generate new ways of relationships, modify social identities, perceive new risks and redefine the existing ones. There is a increasing interest among social scientists in analyzing how these forms of online relationships affect and alter existing behaviors and practices in our society. The study of the so-called virtual violence involves certain difficulties that have to be highlight from the research process itself .Scarce studies on this new area of inquiry are facing oppossed results due to difficulties in giving a extact definition of what we want to analyzed and how. Is this online violence? there are victims? Is this abuse? who are the main actors � boys?, girls ?, what sort of role plays offline socialization such as school or family in different types of conflict?. This are some of the questions we want to answer. This study have an exploratory intention and has as a main goal analyze how online social networks are a way to reproduce certain roles related to gender inequality. And, if so, how these networks are conneted with violence among adolescents.
