Opis

We are in an educational task in front of a population that is considered captive within the school institutions. They are accustomed to the freedom and autonomy they enjoy thanks to the potential of ubiquitous technologies. Contacts, information, procedural universe, media culture, cyber-anthropologies, multimediality and instantaneousness of feedback communication in poly and pluri-focal channels. Research questions arise: How do they construct identities from models that do not take into account their local coordinates (family, school, neighborhood, city, etc.) but assume them from a diversity of worlds formed by other languages and tongues, other citizen climates, other geographical imprints? How and why do the subjects of the app generation perceive themselves and stand up with certain characteristics that, in a certain founding way, tend to be glocal? With them, an ecosystem of subjectivities emerges with variables and variants that are not easily defined.
