Children's Voices Across Time
This article revisits qualitative data collected in 2015, a pivotal moment in the early popularisation of smartphones and social media, to show how children's past experiences help us understand today's digital challenges and inform policy responses. Conducted in Portugal, the study engaged 41 children, focusing analytically on the 35 participants aged 10–12 and sharing the same school cycle, from diverse socio‐economic backgrounds through ethnog…
Digital news and inequalities
Young People Learning About Algorithms
This article focuses on young people’s understanding of algorithms and their learning methods. While many younger individuals are deeply familiar with digital media, it is erroneous to assume that this familiarity is equivalent to operational or critical knowledge. Given that algorithm awareness has only recently become a topic of debate, daily life practices and knowledge processes need further study, particularly through the lens of audiences. …
Perspetivas dos jovens sobre o mundo que os rodeia e contextos de cidadania digital
Young people’s perspectives on the world around them and contexts of digital citizenship
Views of the World and Looking Into the Future of News
A central objective of a Portuguese research project on Young people, News and Digital citizenship – YouNDigital (PTDC/COM-OUT/0243/2021) is to grab news definitions and their connection with youth’s (aged 15-24) democratic needs. The project relies on complementary methods to approach the senses of what news is and how young people get in touch with the world. We developed a representative online survey in Portugal (N=1300) where we explored how…
Digital rights in digital exclusion settings
Institutionalised youths who are digitally disconnected while long-standing in detention centres (in Portugal, these are called educational centres) face constraints to their digital rights. Given that most youths already come from deprived contexts, their present and future lives are deeply challenged. This article explores data collected in the participatory project DiCi-Educa, based on institutionalised youths’ digital media production and cri…
Digital Rights, Institutionalised Youths, and Contexts of Inequalities
In this article, we aim to discuss digital rights and media literacy in the context of socio-digital inequalities experienced by institutionalised youths. In the case of these digitally disconnected youths in detention centres, there is evidence of multiple life-course disadvantages that will resonate throughout their future lives. They see their present and future lives deeply challenged by the fast pace of technological innovation and its socia…
Overcoming pandemic social distancing challenges in research in Portugal and England
“I want to see you not through the Machine,” said Kuno. “I want to speak to you not through the wearisome Machine”. (Forster, 1909)A dystopian scenario dated 1909: the air on Earth becomes lethal
Cuidado Com Quem Você Fala Na Internet
Quando falamos de telas com ligação à Internet, que as crianças usam para lazer e comunicação com seus pares, e da mediação parental, a literatura identifica que, nesse assunto, as crianças ainda são pouco ouvidas. Este artigo resulta de uma tese de doutorado na qual ouvimos as perspectivas críticas de pré-adolescentes portugueses, vindas de famílias de rendas média e média-baixa. Procuramos analisar dois tópicos centrais: o papel influente da mí…
Implicados, intermitentes, desengajados? Estilos de mediação de pais de crianças de 3-8 anos que usam a internet
