Care and surveillance of children through domestic Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a range of technologies through which mundane objects are connected to the internet, collecting data about their environment and being able to be remotely operated. In domestic settings, they can be used to provide care for children but devices can also be used by them. This article aims to present an integrated analysis of IoT uses within the family context, particularly with regard to caring for and surveilling c…
Re-Envisioning Youth Studies in Times of Global Risks: An Introduction
Thirty years after the publication of Ulrich Beck’s Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity (1986/1992), the world has witnessed the rise and spread of risks of unprecedented intensity, scale, and pattern. Very often associated with climate change, disasters (floods, wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, etc.) occur in distinct local and national contexts but extend beyond political borders and regional territories, causing non-stationary, non-linear, m…
Warming the house: "Children and animals "doing family
In this article, we explore the common worlds of children and companion animals, and ask how animals are contributing to the making of contemporary families, and of childhood therein. Departing from D. H. Morgan's conceptualisation of family practices, we explore the possibility of extending this concept to children-animals relationships and ask whether it is possible to talk about children-animal practices. We draw on empirical data from 48 inte…
Architecture, Ceramics and Frames. Three case studies in the work of Jorge Barradas
Throughout the history of the azulejo (a Portuguese form of tin-glazed ceramic tile), frames have played a decisive role in the articulation of this element with its architectural support. From the late 1940s onwards, Portuguese artists have felt the influence of the International Modern Movement, especially via the Brazilian model and its solutions for integrating azulejos within the new architectural forms. This movement translated into new bui…
Lockdown practices: A portrait of young people in the family during the first lockdown in Portugal
Governments introduced protective public health measures, including lockdowns and social distancing, in response to the unprecedented global crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. For young people, such measures are particularly painful, as they entail an interruption of their transitions to adulthood, which generally require taking up their position in the public space and emerging as a recognised social peer, either through leaving the …
Children and the internet in Portugal: Usage Profiles
On the basis of a questionnaire survey carried out among Portuguese children, this article aims to characterise their possession and usage of the internet. The survey ascertained that the children can be grouped under four distinct user profiles — “confirmed cybernauts”, “applied students”, “inveterate gamers” and “beginners” — and demonstrates that these profiles are highly conditioned by variables such as a child’s sex and age and his or her pa…
Internet, children and space: Revisiting generational attributes and boundaries
At the dawn of modernity, in the 18th century, space became a critical category in defining generational attributes and locations. However, borders that previously tightly isolated adults and children are nowadays continuously challenged and modified by a constant and ubiquitous use of new information and communication technologies, namely the Internet, blurring notions of ‘private’ and ‘public’, ‘outdoors’ and ‘indoors’, ‘real’ and ‘virtual’. Gi…
Children and digital diversity: From 'unguided rookies' to 'self-reliant cybernauts
This article discusses the heterogeneity in children's appropriation and use of the internet that make up contemporary digital divides. Based on a survey of Portuguese children in mandatory education (8- to 17-year-olds), it relies on multivariate statistical procedures to build a topological mapping of internet use patterns. Variations in digital practices and parental mediation are analysed in relation to social backgrounds and demographic trai…
Éléments pour une sociologie de l'enfance
Alors que l’enfance attirait bien peu le regard du sociologue, elle devient un objet de recherche à part entière en ce début de vingt-et-unième siècle. Se met en place un nouveau champ de recherche, la sociologie de l’enfance, qui s’intéresse à un objet social à la fois objet de fascination et de tourments. Il n’est plus possible d’envisager les problèmes éducatifs, qu’ils concernent l’école, la famille ou les médias, sans s’interroger sur le nou…

Industry, Family, and Class: The Working-Class Community in Barreiro
Frequently placed on the edges of scientific debate and analyzed in relation to problems or theoretical constructs specific to other social groups, the portrait of the “working-class family” is too often the product of logical deductions and a sort of no-man's land. The research project described by the present article concerns factories, working-class groups, and family strategies in Barreiro, a Portuguese industrial town near Lisbon, the Portug…
