Teletandem is a virtual, autonomous and collaborative context of teaching and learning foreign languages and cultures that is mediated by computer using VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) technology software, such as Skype or Google Hangout. Within this context, pairs of students collaborate with each other in learning their respective native languages or language of competence (no need to be a native speaker of the target language). Learners use the voice, text and webcam image features of Skype. The study is about the subjectivities these pairs of virtual interactants. We tried to verify how their subjectivities are marked by historical phenomena such as globalization and the use of educational technology. For this, we used the learners' utterances that suggest (or not) national identities as symbols of differences of these subjects. We set out this objective by having the following presuppositions in mind: (a) the content of the teletandem interactions focuses both on the contrast and the marking of differences between the interactants' countries; and (b) the participants' discussions on such differences are often repetitive, common sense and essentialist in their nature and they can produce stereotypes of nationalities. The guiding research question is: What are the subjective effects of comparing national identities in interactions via teletandem? Theoretically, the study is based on theories of identity and subject proposed by Hall, Smith and Bauman, on studies about subjectivities brought by Rolnik, Deleuze and Guattari, and on Judith Butler's studies about performativity (these anchored on Derrida's concepts of sedimentation, citationality and iterability). Thus, we sought to know part of the learners' subjectivities who participate in this virtual, autonomous and collaborative practice of teletandem. We adopted a qualitative methodology in the format of three exploratory case studies. Data were collected through video ...
