Abstract

Mobile telephony is the most widespread technology among information and communication technologies (ICT). Unlike others (and especially the Internet), the mobile phone is primarily used to strengthen pre-existing ties, especially those of peer and family groups.

In this paper we used a qualitative approach, based on in-depth interviews and discussion groups, to investigate the processes of appropriation of mobile telephony in the domestic sphere, and their articulation with family relationships between, by on the one hand, mothers and fathers and, on the other, their daughters and sons. Findings indicate that mobile phones have become a supportive infrastructure for family life, especially when daughters and sons move outside the home. Beyond the incorporation of microcoordination, perpetual contact at the phathic level allows to calm the anguish inherent in the contemporary increase in risk.

This explains why mobile phones have become, within families, a preferential object of disputes, negotiations and control, becoming a central aspect of contemporary parentality.
