“…Fazemos assim, neste nosso estudo, duas intervenções no saber da narrativa: primeiro, uma consideração mais aprofundada das formas pelas quais as pessoas podem narrar para além da primeira pessoa do singular relatos de acontecimentos únicos. Neste sentido é necessário considerar sistematicamente como os narradores podem narrar de forma colaborativa não apenas experiências individuais, muitas vezes sinalizadas pela primeira pessoa do singular, como também a forma como os locutores narram experiências e identidades coletivas, muitas vezes sinalizadas pela primeira pessoa do plural (ver Goffman, 1979Goffman, /1981Badequano-López, 2000;De Fina, 2003;Van De Mieroop, 2014. Em segundo lugar, demonstramos a importância de uma consideração mais completa de como os locutores usam a narrativa para sinalizar projetos sociais de maior escala, além do nível interpessoal, como o nacionalismo diaspórico.…”

This article combines the study of online narratives as social practices and the linguistic anthropological study of imagined communities, to examine a set of non-canonical narrative practices in a Facebook group for the Portuguese diaspora in France. Instead of reports of individual members’ past experiences, these narratives function as invitations to other group members to co-tell typical, shared experiences. Specifically, we investigate how group members share vacation trips to Portugal with each other in ways that produce a sense of collective and simultaneous experience. They accomplish this through deictically-based narrative strategies that shift the social, spatial, and temporal perspectives of narrating and narrated frames in ways that link the following: individual I’s with collective we’s, one-time events with timeless event types, and co-presence online with co-presence on vacation. Through these strategies, participants connect Facebook narrations of vacations to the larger social project of diasporic longing for and return to Portugal.
