Térbeli habitus és a(z) (im)mobilitás narratívái a vidéki periférián
Az utóbbi néhány évtizedben a mobilitási fordulattal összefüggésben egyre jelentősebb kutatói figyelem irányul a térbeli mobilitás szerepére a társadalmi egyenlőtlenségek újratermelődésében. A tanulmány e kérdéskör vizsgálatához a bourdieu-i perspektíva beemelésével kíván hozzájárulni. Ennek érdekében az írás a bourdieu-i térelmélet és az új mobilitási paradigma szemléletének összekapcsolásával, egy marginalizált helyzetű aprófalu lakosaival kész…
(Im)mobilities on the margins
Inclusion or Exclusion? The Spatial Habitus of Rural Gentrifiers
Several rural areas all over the world have experienced the inflow of the urban better‐off. This rural gentrification takes various temporary and permanent forms, i.e., lifestyle migration, second‐home ownership, or short‐term visitors. Scholarly interest in rural gentrification is evidenced by the growing body of literature. Based on 105 semi‐structured in‐depth interviews conducted in two rural areas in Hungary, this article aims to explore the…
Enmeshed with the digital
This paper aims to develop a theoretical interpretation of how satellite navigation transforms drivers' experience of automotive spaces. The use of satellite navigation has, so far, been predominantly studied from a cognitivist perspective based on the computer model of cognition and the theory of spatial disengagement. Experimental studies have concluded that over-reliance on digital navigation tools diminishes spatial orientation and spatial me…
From Spatial Forms to Perception
Among the founders of sociology, it was Georg Simmel who provided the most thorough analysis and theory of space. This paper aims to reconstruct Simmel’s spatial theory and his observations of spatial relations. The German sociologist engaged with spatiality in a threefold way. First, he tried to provide a systematic social theory of space; second, analyzing spatial relations was important for his diagnosis of modernity; third, he dealt with the …
Mediatized Love
The article scrutinizes the mediatization of dating and love as part of a broader mediatization process of the life-world, with a focus on the experience of using the popular dating app Tinder. Central to the analysis is how interfacial features, algorithmic structuration, and user perceptions create the affordances of the application and, in the process, shape the experience of using it. The experience of using Tinder is characterized by a 'swip…
A GPS-es navigáció vegyes terei
A társadalmi élet mediatizációja a mindennapi gyakorlatok sokaságát formálja át, így a gyalogos és a gépkocsis útkeresést is. A mozgások mediatizációjának átfogó, több területet érintő folyamatából a tanulmány a GPS-es navigációs eszközök széleskörű használatára és hatására fókuszál. Amióta terjed a műholdas navigációs rendszerrel ellátott navigációs eszközök használata, azóta növekszik – mind a köznapi beszédben, mind a zsurnalisztikai írásokban…
The new Hungarian middle class
According to a widely held view, a broad and strong middle class is a criterion for social stability and a decisive force for democratization. This paper first examines this normative concept of the middle class before investigating how the situation of the middle class changed in Hungary after the regime change and how broad and strong it is today. Finally, we examine to what extent today's Hungarian middle class can be regarded as a pillar of d…
Phenomenology of Online Spaces
Sociological theories of space have so far not provided an in-depth analysis of online spaces. The paper addresses this issue by means of Löw’s relational theory of space. As this theory mainly focuses on material spaces, it is necessary to embrace the phenomenological perspective in order to apply it to the virtual realm. More recent phenomenological research has highlighted the ongoing mediatization or virtualization of the life-world. These th…
