Exploring digital disconnection : una proposta di rilettura del dibattito internazionale sulla disconnessione digitale

2022 - Franco Angeli

80-97 p.

  • The article addresses the multiple phenomena associated with Digital Disconnection, which is understood as the voluntary restriction of users' connection to digital media and platforms. The article examines the recent debate on the topic, its theoretical roots, frameworks and interpretations (as conspicuous nonconsumption, individual detox practices, a form of caring for achieving digital wellbeing, and a form of political resistance to the platform society). Lastly, the contribution invites, also recalling the classic literature on nonuse, to embrace overcoming a dichotomous reading between connection and disconnection and to place the issue of digital disconnection within broader sociocultural transformations.
