Women on the Move: The Mobile Phone as a Gender Technology
Main Article Content
Resumo
As nossas vidas são crescentemente vividas num contexto móvel. A tendência actual na Europa e nos EUA é a da paridade entre homens e mulheres no uso do telemóvel. No entanto paridade no uso não significa igualdade. Tal como acontece com outros artefactos tecnológicos, despreza-se muitas vezes o facto de as mulheres terem uma apropriação muito distinta do telemóvel. No âmbito dos estudos feministas dos media procurar-se-á perspectivar o telemóvel como uma «tecnologia de género» e demonstrar o seu contributo para a construção e transformação de género. O artigo começa por analisar o estado da arte dos estudos feministas dos media e prossegue com a discussão do telemóvel como um media e com o seu posicionamento dicotómico no que diz respeito ao género. O artigo termina com a proposta do telemóvel como uma «tecnologia de género», um local de transgressão e de possível transformação.
