O espalhamento do lar por meio das mídias: comunicação como princípio das novas formas de habitar o mundo contemporâneo

Abstract

Home is an anthropological and spatial phenomenon, the result of the subject's identification with a place. According to Alfred Schütz (1979), home is the zero point on the territory, where we depart from and where we want to return, and its production occurs as we inhabit it. Thus, if dwelling is a condition of human existence (Heidegger, 2006), home is a possibility for anyone, provided their relationship with space is constant and mutually constitutive. Information and communication technologies (ICTs), in turn, are no longer perceived as mere objects arranged on the surface of the planet but as elements that compose and enliven nature (Santos, 2013). In this thesis, we propose four postulates that describe and explain how the home system is produced, practiced, and accessed in contemporaneity through three theoretical- conceptual axes: a) the properties of media - which, according to Flusser (1992), tension the structure of private space; b) the mediatization of the lifeworld - transforming interactions in society (Sodré, 2002; Hjarvard, 2012); and c) the projection of identities in inhabited space, carried out by the media, providing individuals with a nomadic dwelling experience. Thus, we argue that home spreads across the territory through a communicational relationship between humans and spaces constituted by the media
