We had the opportunity to interview her during the SPMob 2023: Fourth School of Advanced Science in Mobilities, held from June 13-21, 2023, at the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, to which she attended as a keynote speaker. In this interview, Germann Molz emphasizes the need to overcome the moralistic view of technology. Rather than subscribing to technological determinism, she proposes the concept of affordances, claiming that, while technology affords certain ways to engage with it, we have agency in determining how we will utilize it and integrate it into our lives. That's why in her works, she describes the many and complex ways in which travelers have been engaging with communication and networking technologies while on the move. Technologically-mediated interactions do not necessarily result in frail and brittle sociality, she adds, since they may entice new forms of solidarity, emotional support and a sense of togetherness or belonging. 2023 artículo científico 2317-8507 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=595776119008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5957/595776119008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5957/595776119008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5957/595776119008/595776119008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5957/595776119008/movil 10.20336/rbs.975 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5957 Revista Brasileira de Sociologia application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Sociologia Revista Brasileira de Sociologia (Brasil) Num.28 Vol.11 |
