Abstract
En este trabajo de investigación doctoral se desarrolla un análisis en profundidad de las prácticas digitales de la juventud, enfatizando los procesos de retroalimentación entre las desigualdades digitales y la estratificación social. El objetivo principal es el análisis de la variedad de prácticas digitales y formas de aprovechamiento tecnológico de los jóvenes, poniéndolas en relación con sus trayectorias biográficas de socialización tecnológica. Desde el punto de vista teórico, este trabajo presenta una aproximación crítica, fundamentada en el constructivismo estructuralista de Pierre Bourdieu, con respecto al papel que juegan las generaciones más jóvenes en la sociedad de la información, intentando desmantelar las perspectivas ciberutópicas que enfatizan la supuesta afinidad juvenil con el mundo digital –a través de conceptos como los de nativo o generación digital–. Por el contario, entendemos que la juventud no constituye un grupo social homogéneo, sino que su apropiación tecnológica se deriva de su posición social y de sus trayectorias biográficas de socialización en el uso de las TIC. Por ello, podemos situar este texto en el campo de los estudios sobre brecha digital, si bien intentamos evitar el solucionismo y determinismo tecnológico que supone derivar las formas sociales del mero progreso técnico. Por el contrario, defendemos que existe una dialéctica entre desigualdad digital y estratificación social que puede conceptualizarse a partir del concepto de capital digital, en su doble dimensión objetivada materialmente en los dispositivos TIC e incorporada en el habitus a través de disposiciones, motivaciones y experiencias subjetivas de uso...
Along this PhD research dissertation an in-depth analysis of young people's digital practices is carried out, emphasizing the feedback between digital inequalities and social stratification. The main objective is to study youngsters' variety of digital practices and forms of technological exploitation, in connection to their biographical trajectories of technological socialization. Regarding theory, a critical approach is developed, based on the constructivist structuralism of Pierre Bourdieu, that tries to unravel the role that younger generations play in information society, aiming at the dismantling of the cyber-utopian perspectives that glorify natural affinity between youth and digital world –by means of concepts such as digital natives or digital generations–. On the contrary, I understand that youth does not constitute a homogeneous social group, since their technological appropriation is conditioned by their social position and biographical trajectory of socialization in the use of ICTs. Therefore, this text can be placed in the field of digital divide studies, even though it will try to avoid deterministic and solutionist approaches that merely deduce social forms from technical transformation. By contrast, we will defend the existence of a dialectic between digital inequality and social stratification which can be conceptualized through the notion of digital capital, in its double dimensionality: materially objectified among technological devices and incorporated in the habitus through dispositions, motivations and subjective experiences of use...
