Faced with behaviors of CCXP participants that referred to a celebration, the article reflects on whether the event is a party. Based on the ethnography carried out in the author's thesis, the study shows that the CCXP can be considered as such, as it promotes the overcoming of distances, produces a state of collective effervescence in the face of references to elements of narratives in films, series, comics, books and games and generates extra logical, extra temporal and extraordinary states, characteristics addressed by Émile Durkheim in his definition of the concept. He also adds that, given its ability to generate meanings from nexuses arising from mediations, this party, in addition to social aspects, also comprises communicational aspects.
