俘获家庭的“陷阱”?——数字育儿装置的意义协商、逃脱与破坏
Digital Parenting Devices: A Trap for Families? Negotiation, Resistance and Disruption
进入家庭、楔入亲子关系的数字育儿装置，看似是孩子的电子护身符，却可能变成危机四伏的陷阱。本文以儿童智能手表为研究对象，通过对28名父母和孩子的深度访谈，从孩子、父母与技术公司三方之间动态协商的视角出发，探讨育儿装置在抚育实践中遭到的整合、改造和拒绝。研究发现，亲子双方通过协商达成了对育儿装置技术意义的“暂时性缝合”，并将之纳入家庭生活。但经由不断地优化升级，儿童智能手表逐渐成为一种俘获家庭的潜在陷阱。在持续与之拉锯的过程中，孩子逐步建构起对技术运行原理和家长管控策略的认知，发展出应对与抵抗策略，甚至通过弃用或者与技术厂商展开盗猎游戏，逃脱乃至破坏陷阱，由之中介的媒介化抚育就此走向中断或脱轨。
Digital parenting devices, which are increasingly embedded in family settings and parent-child relationships, often function as electronic safeguards for children but can inadvertently become potential traps. This paper examines children’s smartwatches through in-depth interviews with 28 parents and children, analyzing how such devices are integrated, adapted, and at times rejected in everyday caregiving practices. Centering on the ongoing negotiations among children, parents, and technology companies, this study finds that families achieve only a provisional suturing of the digital parenting devices’ meaning, allowing their incorporation into family routines. However, as ongoing product optimizations and feature upgrades unfold, smartwatches steadily evolve into trap technologies. Amid this continuous technological tug-of-war, children acquire intricate knowledge of device operations and parental controls, develop sophisticated coping and resistance strategies, and ultimately devise methods to escape or subvert these traps - whether by discontinuing use or by engaging in “poaching games” with the developers. As a result, the promise of mediatized parenting afforded by children’s smartwatch is frequently interrupted or thrown off course.

This article aims at presenting the Sociology of Childhood as an innovative theoretical approach to Children’s Studies, which situates the category of childhood in relation to contemporary society. Having said that, the article introduces the main principles related to a methodological approach supported by the Sociology of Childhood, offers a panoramic view on children’s historical condition in society, focuses on issues related to the so-called ‘paradoxes of childhood’ and children’s universal rights and finally, discusses the construction of the notion of childhood within the Brazilian social context.

This essay explores the basis of the distinction commonly made between works of art or art objects, and 'mere' artefacts, which are useful but not aes thetically interesting or beautiful. It is argued that if the art object is identi fiable as such in the light of the fact that it has an interpretation, as Danto claims, then many artefacts could be exhibited as art objects. The essay shows that animal traps could very well be exhibited as art, because they tend to embody complex ideas and intentions to do with the relationship between men and animals, and because they provide a model of the hunter himself and his idea of the world of the prey animal. It is concluded that an aesthetic definition of the art object is consequently unsatisfactory.

This article acknowledges the vital role that the Domestication Research-perspective has in media research, but criticizes it for being analytically ambiguous in its use of the central term `domestication'. By way of a contrastive set of data from an ongoing research project, we argue for a dislocation of `domestication' from the domestic and the private. Instead, we wish to retain the meaning and use of the term to acts of domesticating, i.e. processes of `taming the wild'. By connecting our arguments to Wittgenstein's concept of the `language-game', we emphasize the practical aspect of language and meaning, and how ICTs become meaningful only as parts of practical-communicative contexts. We argue that this steering towards `domestication' as contextualization highlights the universal and fundamental process of enculturation. Such a turn frees the perspective from historical and cultural specificities and thereby accentuates its analytical potential in a post-national, globalized world.

Cellphones provide a unique opportunity to examine how new media both reflect and affect the social world. This study suggests that people map their understanding of common social rules and dilemmas onto new technologies. Over time, these interactions create and reflect a new social landscape. Based upon a year-long observational field study and in-depth interviews, this article examines cellphone usage from two main perspectives: how social norms of interaction in public spaces change and remain the same; and how cellphones become markers for social relations and reflect tacit pre-existing power relations. Informed by Goffman's concept of cross talk and Hopper's caller hegemony, the article analyzes the modifications, innovations and violations of cellphone usage on tacit codes of social interactions.

Political and socioeconomic factors contribute to the popularity of surveillance camera use at home in China. This study investigates how CCTV (closed-circuit television) technology shapes family communication practices. Drawing on interviews and observations of 12 migrant parents, four left-behind children and four proximal caregivers, this article explores why people use new surveillance technology in the private home sphere to help parenting, and how family members cope with such surveillance. Children’s coping tactics include participation, disregard, escape and resistance. Through the temporalities framework, this article uncovers nuanced immediate, archival and predictive time experiences. The temporality experience of CCTV use is not traditional linear time co-presence, but video-based concentric three-circle time experience. It shifts interpersonal trust in family life into surveillance trust and interpersonal distrust, which requires familial negotiation and trust reconstruction.

Mediatization relates to changes associated with communication media and their development. A basic assumption of mediatization is that the technological, semiotic and economic characteristics of mass media result in problematic dependencies, constraints and exaggerations. These are closely associated with three basic functions of the media in communication processes: (1) the relay function, grounded in the media’s technological capacities, serving to bridge spatial and temporal distances; (2) the semiotic function, making messages suitable for human information processing through encoding and formatting; and (3) the economic function, highlighting the standardization of media products as an outcome of mass production processes. The article looks at the analytical functions of mediatization and, finally, discusses three possible answers to the question whether the advent of new media might bring an end to mediatization.
