The studies about new literacies and multiliteracies (Lankshear & Knobel, 2003; Cope & Kalantzis, 2000) which aim at understanding the relationship between digital language / discourse and education (Luke & Freebody, 1997; Gee, 2003; Snyder, 2000) evidence changes in the ways that knowledge is constructed and that social language is apprehended. This article presents the analysis of the outcome of an exploratory investigation occurred in a university community whose participants were both students and Internet users. The investigation aimed at observing the interpretative ability of the investigated in their interaction with varied modalities of communication. Interpretive constructions of online relationships sites and of a movie served as investigative sources. The research analysis bases on theoretical references about image and cinema (Manovich, 2001; Carriére, 1995), digital epistemologies (Lankshear & Knobel, 2003), network knowledge and society (Castells, 1999), among others, in a search to understand the connectivity of language as a social practice in a society which is currently characterized by a post-typographical logic (Castells, 1999; Gee, 2003) of reading and interpretation.
