Resumo: | This book seeks to provide a better understanding of the relationship between women and technology through an inquiry into the significance of mobile phones in the lives of Portuguese women. Recent theoretical developments suggest too little emphasis has been placed on differences between women themselves. The initial impetus for carrying out this research stemmed from contributing towards meeting this gap by investigating the scope of mobile phones as the basis for the increased technological intimacy of women whilst without reinstating the old binary oppositions between men and women. The study focuses on the mobile phone as a site where the nuances of women’s experiences with technology become visible and on adult women as a meaningful yet underrepresented group. In choosing to conduct a case study of Portugal, I wished to contribute to the development of future cross-cultural analysis on the gendering of the mobile phone. |

Desenvolvimentos teóricos recentes sugerem que tem sido dada pouca ênfase às diferenças entre as próprias mulheres. O impulso inicial para a realização desta investigação resultou da contribuição para colmatar esta lacuna, investigando o alcance dos telemóveis como base para o aumento da intimidade tecnológica das mulheres, sem restabelecer as antigas oposições binárias entre homens e mulheres. O estudo centra-se no telemóvel como um local onde as nuances das experiências das mulheres com a tecnologia se tornam visíveis e nas mulheres adultas como um grupo significativo, mas sub-representado. Ao optar por realizar um estudo de caso de Portugal, quis contribuir para o desenvolvimento de futuras análises transculturais sobre a atribuição de género ao telemóvel.Open Books da UCEditoraOpen Books da UCEditora2016-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookDigital (DA)https://openbooks.ucp.pt/ucp/catalog/book/36Open Books da UCEditora;Open Books da UCEditora;reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://openbooks.ucp.pt/ucp/catalog/book/369789725405154https://openbooks.ucp.pt/ucp/catalog/view/36/33/1666open accessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGanito, Carla; Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Faculdade Ciências Humanas, Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Cultura2023-11-08T12:39:05Zoai:openbooks.ucp.pt:publicationFormat/33Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:26:58.235763Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
