Resumo: | With the popularization of smartphones, location-based services are increasingly part of everyday live. People use their cell phones to find nearby restaurants, friends in the vicinity, and track their children. Although location-based services have received sparse attention from mobile communications cholars to date, the ability of locating people and things with one’s cell phone is not new. Since the removal of GPS signal degradation in 2000, artists and researchers have been exploring how location-awareness influences mobility, spatiality and sociability. Besides exploring the historical antecedents of today’s location-based services, this paper focuses on the main social issues that emerge when location-aware technologies leave the strict domain of art and research and become part of everyday life: locational privacy, sociability, and spatiality. Finally, this paper addresses two main topics that future mobile communication research that focus on location-awareness should take into consideration: a shift in the meaning of location, and the adoption and appropriation of location-aware technologies in the global south. |

Utilizamos os celulares para encontrar restaurantes próximos, amigos na vizinhança e acompanhar as atividades de nossos filhos. Embora os serviços de localização tenham recebido pouca atenção no meio acadêmico até hoje, a utilização do celular para localizar pessoas ou coisas não é uma novidade. Desde a remoção do sinal de degradação do GPS em 2000, artistas e pesquisadores têm explorado como o uso dessa interface de localização influencia os modos como nos deslocamos, percebemos espaços, e socializamos. Esse artigo, além de tratar dos antecedentes históricos dos serviços de localização, explora as questões sociais que surgem quando essas tecnologias deixam o domínio da arte e da pesquisa e se tornam parte da vida cotidiana. Essas questões são: privacidade, sociabilidade e espacialidade. Além disso, este artigo aborda dois temas importantes que a pesquisa na área de comunicação móvel deve começar a levar em consideração: a mudança no conceito de “local” e a adoção e apropriação das tecnologias de localização nos países em desenvolvimento.Verso e Reverso2013-03-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2013.27.64.0310.4013/ver.2013.27.64.03Verso e Reverso; v. 27 n. 64: Ano XXVII - 2013/1; 19-231806-6925reponame:Verso e Reverso (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:UNISINOSporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/article/view/ver.2013.27.64.03/1396e Silva, Adriana de Souzainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2014-11-07T13:48:04Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/3820Revistahttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereversoPRIhttp://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/versoereverso/oaiperiodicos@unisinos.br||bmarocco@unisinos.br1806-69250103-1414opendoar:2014-11-07T13:48:04Verso e Reverso (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false |
