Resumo: | The forms technology has assumed in contemporaneity are as varied as they are ubiquitous. They have transformed the ways of living in society in a context of increasing mediation of social relations by technology, which seems to complement face-to-face interactions by establishing new social existence modalities. This article aims to discuss the dynamics of social life organized on dating apps around four basic axes: virtuality, sociability, stereotyping, and violence. The study is based on an inductively inspired survey of users of the Grindr app in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data suggest that virtuality implies superficiality and a disposable attitude to relationships, which lead to a form of ephemeral sociability in which stereotyping is ostensibly employed to accelerate the dynamic by attributing preconceptions to other users. Indeed, these aspects are materialized as varied and systematic violence practices, which are frequent in the context of the investigated application. The main conclusions reveal that organized social life humanizes organizational analysis and advances the concept of organization by humanizing the process and including the ways of organizing practiced by social groups. This includes situating the researcher in a process that implicates them and politicizes knowledge production. |

As formas que a tecnologia tem assumido na contemporaneidade são tão variadas quanto onipresentes, tendo alterado as formas de vida em sociedade – contexto de crescente mediação das relações sociais pela tecnologia, que parece complementar as interações face a face ao estabelecer novas modalidades de existência social. Neste artigo, o objetivo é problematizar as dinâmicas da vida social organizada em aplicativos de relacionamento em torno de quatro eixos básicos: virtualidade, sociabilidade, estereotipagem e violência. O estudo se baseia em uma pesquisa de inspiração indutiva com usuários do Grindr na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Brasil. Os dados sugerem que a virtualidade implica superficialidade e descartabilidade das relações, levando a uma sociabilidade efêmera na qual a estereotipagem é empregada ostensivamente para acelerar a dinâmica ao atribuir preconceitos aos demais usuários. Tais aspectos se concretizam em práticas variadas e sistemáticas de violência, algo comum no contexto do aplicativo estudado. As principais conclusões apontam que a vida social organizada humaniza a análise organizacional, avançando em relação ao conceito de organização ao humanizar o processo e incluir as formas de organizar praticadas pelos grupos sociais, o que inclui situar o pesquisador em um processo no qual ele próprio é implicado, politizando a produção do conhecimento.

The forms technology has assumed in contemporaneity are as varied as they are ubiquitous. They have transformed the ways of living in society in a context of increasing mediation of social relations by technology, which seems to complement face-to-face interactions by establishing new social existence modalities. This article aims to discuss the dynamics of social life organized on dating apps around four basic axes: virtuality, sociability, stereotyping, and violence. The study is based on an inductively inspired survey of users of the Grindr app in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data suggest that virtuality implies superficiality and a disposable attitude to relationships, which lead to a form of ephemeral sociability in which stereotyping is ostensibly employed to accelerate the dynamic by attributing preconceptions to other users. Indeed, these aspects are materialized as varied and systematic violence practices, which are frequent in the context of the investigated application. The main conclusions reveal that organized social life humanizes organizational analysis and advances the concept of organization by humanizing the process and including the ways of organizing practiced by social groups. This includes situating the researcher in a process that implicates them and politicizes knowledge production. |
