Work Group description
Talking about internet has become an accepted and commonplace topic on discussions nowadays. By being a variable and ever-changing matter, analyzing and keeping an eye on its constant change becomes a must in order to understand today's world.
Our goal in this working group is to foster debate and a interdisciplinar thinking around the shared use in everday activity of people on the net. We are keen in a wide range of issues ranging from educational, sexual, informative, moral, affective and, in a broad sense, those implied in social relationships.
We aim, therefore, to indagate in the meaning and sense underlying the appropiation and use of technological artifacts, and the way these mediate our experience of the everyday social reality.
- efore the discussion of communications (12-29 of November) we have prepared a series of online workshops that will be published progressively.
