In ponència, recerca on gener 25, 2012 at 12:50 pmEl Francesc Núñez farà avui la conferència “L’amor i altres dimonis en temps d’Internet” al Col·legi de Periodistes de Catalunya a les 19h, on reflexionarà sobre quin és el lloc de l’amor –i de les emocions en general- en la societat digital, sobre quins canvis, transformacions o permanències podem destacar en les maneres d’enamorar-nos i d’emocionar-nos.
L’amor és un vincle important entre persones i està present en la base de moltes relacions socials. No obstant, sigui quina sigui la seva naturalesa, la manera en com l’experimentem, la rellevància que té en les nostres vides i en les nostres relacions, el sentit que li atorguem o com l’expressem està marcat pels temps que corren, per les circumstàncies socials i vitals que ens envolten.
L’amor, com altres emocions, i com la majoria dels dimonis, té moltes cares i dimensions. Es tracta d’un d’aquells temes “personals” que sovint vivim i experimentem una questió existencial, però que té un origen social com passa amb molts des probelmes que patim, i és per això que la solució sovint s’escapa de les nostres mans.
La reflexió que volem fer sobre l’amor es preté genuïnament humanístics. La cultura humanística ha de formar persones que siguin capaces d’acostar-se al seu entorn social i professional amb les competències i les eines intel·lectuals que els facin aptes per desentrellar el món que ens envolta, coprendre l’entorn cultural i gestionar i donar respostes als reptes que planteja.

Papers in Geneva
In ponència, recerca on Octubre 4, 2011 at 1:53 pmThe GRECS research group was present at the 10th Conference of the European Sociological Association (ESA), which took place between the 7th and the 10th of September of2011 in Geneva, Switzerland, with several papers, a round table and a poster) containing part of the results of this year’s research work. Below you can find the abstracts of two of them:
‘Smile! You´re on Film!´ The Interplay between Shame and the Use of Mobile Phone Cameras in the Process of Emergence of Norms (F. Núñez; N. Cantó; S. Seebach)
It is becoming increasingly common that teenager friendships end up in controversy, dispute and even fight because of pictures that have been shared in Fotolog or facebook without the permission of all those who are on them.
The easiness with which pictures can be taken and videos made with a mobile phone, and the easiness with which these pictures and videos can then be shared has generated many conflicts on many different levels. From public scandal to lawsuits because celebrities feel their intimacy invaded, to thousands of minor discussions among friends and lover for not having been asked before a picture of theirs was made public.
After the incorporation and generalisation of cameras and video cameras in mobile phones, a period of time has been necessary in order to domesticate the multiple possibilities, which are offered by these devices. These possibilities are still growing, but so are the routinized practises and norms of their use. Shame has been an emotion highly present in this process. It has facilitated the perception of the public dimension of an apparently innocent and familiar action, such as taking a picture, centred in a concrete place and time, and has helped become aware of the possible moral and social implications of taking that picture and publicising it.
From 2007 to 2009 interviews and discussions in focus groups with teenagers from Catalan schools were realised (56 teenagers aged between 15 and 18). These interviews and focus group discussions concentrated on finding out the use that these teenagers made of video materials in the Internet. This paper focuses on the results of the analyses of these interviews, emphasising the role that shame played in the regulation of the use of their mobile cameras, at a time in which the possession of mobile phones with cameras was becoming common among middle class and working class teenagers.
Send me a message and I’ll call you back – The late modern webbing of everyday love life (F. Núñez; N. Cantó; S. Seebach)
New technologies of communication are playing an increasingly important role in the everyday webbing of love relationships. Lovers use their mobile phones, email accounts, and webcams to communicate with each other in the most diverse situations and circumstances, and for the most varied reasons: the shopping list, the nanny’s phone number, or the most intimate confessions – those, which would cause great embarrassment without the possibility to hide behind the coded words … all these different types of messages are channeled by these same new forms (possibilitites and/or obligations) of communication. The possibilities to remain in touch despite the distance, the possibilities to create ‘artificial’ distance by chatting from the bedroom to the living room, to carry on arguing in the tube on the way to work, or to discuss the latest movie seen together whilst sitting at the desk at work, are, this is this paper’s thesis, webbing new forms of partnership, and possibilities of commitment.
To be always there for each other now does not only mean to stay together. Potentially it means being there for each other in every minute, every second, 24 hours, wherever one is, for there is always a possibility of ‘being in touch’. It also means to perceive the beloved other increasingly through written words and sent images ; the same way as we perceive our colleagues, or old friends from school.
In order to research the forms in which quotidian love relationships are webbed today, strengthening or weakening the social bond (and their subsequent commitments) webbed between lovers, we have realised 70 autobiographical interviews with people in love relationships inBarcelona and Berlin. The results of the analyses, regarding their discourses on love, on that which relationships are and should be, their daily practices, their conflicts, hopes, problems and forms of communication will be presented within this paper.
Conferences on young people’s being together
In ponència, recerca on Juny 22, 2011 at 10:43 pmWe are starting to translate the months of fieldwork and research in the research project on the technological mediation of taste in music in ideas that we want to explore (we are also finishing the fieldwork on family socialization in new technologies). We had the ocassions to share them with researchers in two fantastic settings last week: the 1th NYRIS symposium on Global / Local Youth – New Civic Culture, Rights and Responsibilities (at the University of Turku in Turku, Finland) and Rethinking Youth Cultures In The Age Of Global Media (at the Institute Of Education, London).
The papers presented by Roger Martinez and Irene Curssó were untitled ‘Tuning-in through Youtube, Facebook and P2P: Growing up, making sense of popular music and the Internet’ and ‘Being Together Through The Internet: Class Differences in the Direct and Indirect Experience of Others’, and have been very useful in pushing us to put together part of the fielwork and start drawing some generalizations which develop some of the ideas Toni Cambra is also pushing on his PhD about Electrodance. These were the focus of both papers:
Tuning-in through Youtube, Facebook and P2P: Growing up, making sense of popular music and the Internet
When growing up, young people try to make sense of youth cultural geographies, and in this symbolic work music plays a very
important role. Contrary to what an important part of popular music research tends to imply, moreover, taste in music is homologically related to social geographies. During the last 10 years, the way young people access and share their music knowledge and preferences has notably changed because of the Internet: P2P file exchange, social network sites like Myspace or Facebook, and the importance of Youtube, just to name a few, have revolutionized young people’s relationship with music. In this paper, the impact of these technologies is scrutinized through a comparison of how taste in music was and is culturally produced in 2000 and 2010 in three secondary schools in Barcelona, Spain. Through the analysis of qualitative interviews to more than 120 youngsters between 15 and 16 years old, attention was paid to the changes in the way young people learn, make sense and experience the differentiation between different music genres and the tension between the commercial centre and the anti-commercial peripheries, with the goal of understanding how their homological relation to social meanings like gender, class or ethnic, linguistic and national identification are being produced and re-produced.
Being Together Through The Internet: Class Differences in the Direct and Indirect Experience of Others
We reflected about how youngsters in opposed positions of generalized advantage use digital media to build differentiated ways of communicating – understood as ‘being together’ in terms of actual social interactions as well as shared meanings and imagined cultural spaces. When growing up, young people try to make sense of youth and general social geographies through both direct and indirect experiences of others. Contemporary youth cultures, tastes and styles have always provided a stock of typified knowledge mediating young people’s experience of their social world. With the rise of digital technologies and the importance of user generated content, the way these meanings are being generated, disseminated and accessed are changing, and thus is presumably having an impact in young people’s cultural production of youth cultures and their ‘being together’. Through the analysis of in-depth qualitative interviews to youngsters between 15 and 16 years old, we analysed the importance of social network sites, messaging, Youtube and other on-line resources in the way young people in different positions of generalized advantage make sense of their position in youth cultural and social geographies.

Publicació de “Certesa virtual, simulació real”, una aproximació al concepte del virtual
In GRECS, ponència, publicacions, recerca on Octubre 3, 2010 at 2:57 pm
Ja podem trobar la darrera publicació d’en Pau Alsina dins del llibre de l’encontre “Certesa simulada: Noves fronteres de la ciència, l’art i el pensament” que va tenir lloc a l’Arts Santa Mònica de Barcelona durant el setembre de l’any 2009 i que va permetre reunir a un conjunt de pensadors, científics i artistes com Llibert Fortuny, Louis Bec, Joan Leandre, Derrick de Kerckhove, Francesc Torres, Claudia Giannetti, Roderic Guigó, Janna Levin, Konic Thr, Antonio Acín o el mateix Pau Alsina, entre d’altres.
El text publicat amb el títol “Certesa virtual, simulació real” reflexiona al voltant del concepte de “virtual” en relació a allò anomenat com a “realitat virtual”, terme que, sota l’aparença d’un oxímoron que harmonitza dos conceptes oposats en una sola expressió, ens obliga a cercar un sentit metafòric que ens doni el seu sentit. Partint d’un recorregut pels primers pensadors utòpics de la “realitat virtual”, com Marshall McLuhan, Ted Nelson, Howard Rheingold o fins hi tot Philippe Quéau, l’autor ens porta a repensar la noció del virtual de la mà d’autors com Henri Bergson o Gilles Deleuze i Felix Guattari, per als qui el concepte del virtual permet fundar una nova relació entre matèria i forma així com fer possible la novetat radical, que d’aquesta manera supera altres visions més clàssiques sobre la gènesi de la forma. A diferència de la l’ontologia clàssica el virtual introdueix una ontologia de la novetat i de l’espontaneïtat (lluny del causalisme filosòfic, que és incapaç d’explicar el dinamisme immanent de la matèria).
Cap a una història material del media art?
In ponència on Mai 7, 2010 at 9:57 amPau Alsina – El grup de recerca ‘Art, Arquitectura i Societat Digital’ de la Facultat d’Història de l’Art de la Universitat de Barcelona, dins el marc de les “IV Jornades Internacionals Universos i metaversos: aplicacions artístiques dels nous mitjans”, ha convidat a en Pau Alsina fer la ponència inaugural “Cap a una història material de l’art multimèdia?: sobre allò tecnològic en l’art”.
Aquesta ponència planteja de quina manera l’estudi de les pràctiques més actuals de l’art multimèdia necessita tant una perspectiva interdisciplinària com basar-se en la materialitat constitutiva d’aquestes pràctiques. Partim d’una genealogia crítica de les interrelacions entre art, ciència i tecnologia en la història, per convidar a una reflexió epistemològica i ontològica que ens permeti extreure unes conclusions aplicables al nostre moment actual de proliferació d’interseccions creatives fèrtils i innovadores en el context de la denominada Societat Xarxa. D’aquesta manera introduïm algunes teories i alguns mètodes que ens permetin pensar i historiar la interrelació entre art, cultura, tecnologia i societat, i faci possible integrar múltiples perspectives capaces de generar un context holístic d’anàlisi i interpretació de les pràctiques artístiques.
