Who in the World Is Generation Z? The Rise of Mobile Natives and Their Socio-Technological Identity
Generation Z is a widely used term in both public and academic discourse, yet its definition remains ambiguous, particularly regarding the factors distinguishing it from its predecessor, Generation Y. Adopting a socio-technological perspective, this article proposes a clear generational boundary, those born after 1995, and introduces the concept of “mobile natives” to define Generation Z as a technologically distinct generation in relation to bot…

Navigating parental engagement in WhatsApp groups
This study examines how WhatsApp-groups shape parental engagement in education, focusing on elementary school teachers-parents groups. Using theories of parental engagement and digital affordances, we explore how these groups transform traditional educational partnerships. Through in-depth interviews with teachers and parents, the study highlights how WhatsApp's public nature, constant availability, and conversational format both enable and const…
Repentance and the Reversal of Time
This article discusses the dominant understanding of the concept of repentance in the thought of the Jewish philosopher Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, and the original interpretation he offers of this religious idea. It explores how his interpretation of the way repentance operates upon the human soul is based on Max Scheler's thought regarding remorse, while adding another layer of meaning grounded in Henri Bergson's philosophical conception of t…
Mobile phones and the experience of time
A number of studies have sought to understand how mobile phones affect time practices, and beyond them, the experience of time in users' daily lives. This article is a further effort in that direction, employing the deprivation study method. We conducted a field study of 80 adolescents, or "cellular natives," separating them from their cellphones for 1 week. The findings indicate that the cellphone's absence indeed had a dominant impact on a vari…
Silent Partners
Theoretical research on political communication between Members of Parliament (MPs) and the public has focused on the role, activities, and perceptions of the MPs themselves without noting the existence of an intermediate layer: Parliamentary Assistants (PAs). This study examines the presence of PAs in the process of MPs' interactions with the public, and their PA's role in this process. The study investigates the perception that social media inv…
Electoral system influence on social network usage patterns of parliamentary assistants as their legislators’ stand-in
Social networks are generally regarded as channels through which parliamentarians establish direct contact with the public. However, do they engage in these activities personally or rather delegate them to their parliamentary assistants? This study examines the intermediary relationship between parliamentarians and the public (henceforth PAs)—seeking to understand their role in contemporary, political communications. While numerous studies have l…
A Facebook post is born
Research on political communication between MPs and the public has focused on the role, activities and perceptions of the members of parliament (MPs) themselves. However, the authors’ prior research demonstrated that in fact social media necessitate a new prism through which to study such communication. The contribution of the present study is to look at this relationship through the heretofore under-researched prism of those who in fact are doin…
