The integration of ICT in our daily life reaches levels that have leaded us to regard them as indispensable to the daily chores. The virtual media contributes to the internalization of a mental model that emphasizes connectivity. This context justifies the academic interest in developing research projects that focus on the field of virtual media. To achieve the purpose to observe power relations that underlie the microblogs, we took the opening pages of Twitter, Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and Universidade de São Paulo ( USP). We set the following objectives: i. highlight features of the virtual domain through the characterization of specific notions of the field, ii. situate microblog as a genre, considering its compositional structure and the support that is played, iii. evaluate the emergence of hypertext as a basis for digital textual genres; comment on the language in this context, iv. Identify discursive structures that contribute to the naturalization of power and control procedures; v. understand how social structures and discursive structures automate a discourse that dictates the urgent need for visibility and simulate notions of unrestricted freedom of expression. In the first chapter, we conceptualize some terms of cyberculture. We took Castells (2010) to deal with concept of internet; with Vaz (2008) we talk about networking and with Santaella (2003) and Primo (2008b) we brought the concept of media; texts of Levy (1998) comment about virtual to finalize making a few statements about globalization, backed up by Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2002), Sodré (2010), Moraes (2010), Britto (2009) and Chauí (2006). In the second chapter, we followed Marcuschi (2005) and Bakhtin (2003) to define the notion of gender adopted, we use the constructs of Komesu (2005), Recuero (2003) and France (2008) among others authors to characterize blog and we followed Zago (2008), Java et al. (2007) and Huberman et al. (2008) in characterizing the microblog. Also in this section, we briefly consider language in the digital media (Marcuschi, 2005 and Soares, 2002) and then we got into the question of support (mainly Marcuschi, 2009, Chartier, 1998). The third chapter dealt with the Critical Discourse Analysis from the sociocognitive view advocated by van Dijk (1985, 2008 and others). In the last chapter, we describe the methodological procedures used in data collection. Simple observation coupled with concepts of CDA based the interpretation of the corpus made of 36 posts. Then we proceed to the description of the methodology and composition of the corpus, we draw the profile of the institutions surveyed and we began to analyze data. The results confirmed the hypothesis that discursive structures related to social structures are responsible for the automation of a discourse that preaches the undeniable visibility and unrestricted freedom of expression in computer-mediated communication and thus contribute to the naturalization of control procedures that feed vertical power relations.
