Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The first chapter is dedicated to the transformation of the temporal dimension of the network society, characterized by constant and ubiquitous connectivity, that is, the experience of being "always on", always connected, in an attempt to grasp both the structural aspects, which act almost normatively on the subjects , and the margin of autonomy that they can keep in the practice of digital communication practices. The second chapter discusses the idea that younger people constitute a homogeneous generation from the point of view of the use of network technologies, throwing some doubts on labels of great importance in the common language such as "digital natives" and deepening the potential of development offered by Web 2.0 to the agency of the new generations. The third chapter broadens the gaze to the "networked family", the connected families, in which the plot of offline relations continuously intersects with that of online relationships, drawing variable geometries within the family nucleus, and between the latter and the networks societies that revolve around each of its members. In the fourth chapter we propose a conversational approach to SNS: what happens in the interactions enabled by social networks, in fact, can be interpreted in a good majority of cases just as a form of conversation, a "being together", a "spending time" in pleasant way, an end in itself, always in a slight balance between private chatter and public debate. Finally, in the last chapter, the styles of use of a particular social network such as Facebook are related to its technical-cultural affordances and to the communicative dynamics of the ecclesial community.
