This folder of the journal Réseaux, coordinated by Dominique Pasquier, is situated at the crossroads of two important observations.
He reminds us, on the one hand, of the importance of taking into account social determinants when studying the relationship of young people to culture, sociability or communication. "Gender, social origins, educational backgrounds, and even, in one case studied here, religious cultures, are all factors that play a role in the relationship to the media, both old and new. These regularities are too often hidden in the works on new technologies where young people are treated as a whole as if their age category was enough to bring them together.
On the other hand, "it pays homage to that part of creativity in the face of socio-technical devices that young people are more often used to than their elders. For it is the privilege of those who have known digital technology since their birth: if they are not necessarily more expert, they are certainly more inventive. They have known many new social networks as they have grown older...
"The list would be long - and always incomplete -, " Dominique Pasquier reminds us in the introduction to this dossier, " of these new ways of communicating within peer groups that have attracted the attention of researchers. These studies have often identified communication tactics intended to protect themselves from the parental gaze: this is an ever-present dimension that is found in several texts in this dossier. They have also observed all sorts of tinkering with the scripts proposed by the devices, which aim to modulate the expression of the intensity of the bonds of sociability in peer groups, to testify to one's preferences and rejections in love, to mark one's individuality. In short, the sociology of uses will still have a lot to do to map the diversity of juvenile appropriations .Summary of the dossier- Dominique Pasquier : File : Youth cultures in the digital age
