This article deals with the experience of digital convergence in the life of young people as an environment wherein new social meanings are constructed, a real and yet illusory space to exercise a quota of symbolic power and to avoid social exclusion, an imaginary territory to recreate the local, an idealized space to sustain, bring closer, and to reinvent the presence of others. In this perspective, we will privilege a more transcendent meaning of communication and sociability, for a better comprehension of the aforementioned phenomenon, trying to recuperate from a socio-anthropological perspective the social and cultural conditions that make interdependence possible with TICs, rather than considering them as merely univocal effects of technology
