Abstract

The article analyzes the information available in a mobile app about the city and its relationship with the social memory. Includes the information flows that structure the app and work in the virtualization of the city. To navigate the city through its virtual representation, informational traces of our passage are generated, which contributes to build narratives about it. Uses narratology as a method for analyzing the information available in the app Porto Alegre Guide, characterizing it as a source of information about the city and its memory. Focuses on the analysis of information that treat the plots, episodes, characters, scenarios and chronological sequences that composes the stories narrated by the app. Concludes that all these elements, although different, converge to the same narrative: Porto Alegre is a city that combines the traditions of the past and the vanguard of this, while it remains open to future changes.
