Family life and music in the urban social space. Narrative programs and Engineering in Social Communication

Abstract

The middle class family social life is organized under highly traditional socialization patterns. There are few spaces for the use of free time and leisure in the family that open possibilities for the construction of more harmonious and constructive social life. The traditional narrative program prescribes a disarticulation called "generational" between young children and parents, where they separate and lose their connection by having fewer or no common activities as children become young. The social family life, therefore, is presenting elements of erosion of its social fabric in the domestic space, and little by little a disarticulation by the difference of activities of free time and leisure, built socially to strengthen this weakening. Engineering in Social Communication proposes public coexistence and music as effective social technologies to generate social life that has enactive effects that improve the quality of family relationships, so that public musical spaces intervene -apart from the segmentation schemes young and old. middle-class adults-, to recreate them as building actions and strengthening the bond between young people and parents in the urban social environment.
