Digital Socialization: Growing Up in a Novel Social Space

Sun, April 19, 8:15 to 9:45am, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores how the relationship with our social counterparts changes when we digitally connect with each other in a new way (King 2016, White, Weinstein & Selman 2016). Here are a variety of aspects that come under consideration. Turkle has repeatedly pointed to the loss of resonance associated with digital communication (2015). While Lanier has emphasized the importance of autonomous contemplation (2010). Gardner and Davis have pointed out that the growing number of assistive apps limits experience and autonomy development by allowing users to be passively guided by them (2014). This interdisciplinary and multimethodological symposium reflects in empirical and theoretical approaches the social dimensions of the changes that the digital age generates in the process of growing up.
