Summary
In recent years, smartphones and digital platforms have become essential to our lives and are now inextricably interwoven into the everyday practices of millions, especially young people. Focusing on smartphone practices and experiences of youth today, this volume is the result of empirical research based on focus groups and in-depth interviews with young people aged 18-30. Grounded in media theory and analyzed through a blended lens of media and science and technology studies, the book offers detailed and fascinating insights into the everyday use of smartphones. Topics covered include the role of the smartphone as material technology, its use in interpersonal relationships, photographic practices, music and consumer practices, along with the deconstruction of the notion of smartphone addiction. Michela Drusian teaches Sociology of Consumption at IUSVE-Venice, where she is the coordinator of research activities for the Department of Communication and Education. Her research interests focus on the relationship between young people and new media. Paolo Magaudda is Associate Professor in Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Padova. His work concentrates on the interactions between culture, technology and society with a focus on digital media, consumption processes and music technologies. Cosimo Marco Scarcelli is Assistant Professor in Sociology of Culture and Communication at the University of Padova. His research interests deal with the relationship between digital media, intimacy, gender and sexuality with a focus on young people.
