RESEARCH PROJECT:
Love correspondence in digital times

Description
This research project is the result of three interests: analyzing and problematizing the role of letters and digital correspondence in love relationships in the 21st century; To discuss love in the contemporary world through a group of people in their 40s and, finally, to delve into the universe of social media as a place of interaction and focus of this study.
I intend, from access to the correspondence of loving partners living far from each other, whether in different cities, countries or continents, expressed in social networks such as Facebook, in digital post offices such as e-mail and in communications applications such as WhatsApp, understand The construction of these relations and their processes. For this, I will conduct an online and offline ethnography in a universe of adult men and women over 40 years of age living in Rio de Janeiro and in Barcelona. The idea is to form a diverse group of herero-sexual and homosexual couples. It will also be important to investigate the notions of fidelity, jealousy, passion and commitment that are fundamental to understanding what changes and what remains in virtual relationships.
This research establishes a counterpoint with broader research projects on social networks developed in Brazil (Rifiotis, 2010, 2016, Amaral, 2007, 2008, Campanella, 2008, 2012, Barros, 2016, Segata, 2008, 2015, Lemos, 2007, 2013) . And it is part of a larger set of studies produced by researchers in the field of communication focusing on the interpretations and re-significances of the love relationships expressed by distinct groups within the digital universe.
Much of the research on social networks has as a universe youth, a privileged category in the mass culture of capitalist societies. It is a social identity communicated and recognized through the cultural industry. However, I believe that research on the uses, appropriations, and meanings of virtual places by another layer of the population is still rare: men and women over the age of 40. There is an emphasis of the media themselves on the adherence of youth to new technologies, as if maturity distanced men and women from this form of communication and relationship.
How does this part of society make use of social networks? How often do you access the internet, write emails, log into your Facebook accounts, send messages through WhatsApp? Is it so different from the young?
My hypothesis is that these adults have a different relationship from young people to social media and virtual communication. Perhaps they are not so intensely connected, perhaps they make diverse uses of new technologies, which does not mean that they do not communicate and do not relate lovingly through them. It will be interesting to think about which social networks are privileged by these adults and how they are accessed.
The baggage of communication studies and anthropological research will be fundamental for unraveling social practices and individual uses of social networks by couples who are lovingly and geographically separated. In addition to the studies in the field of communication, the contributions of foreign anthropologists such as Ardévol (2003, 2005) Hine (2003, 2005), and in particular the work of Daniel Miller (2001, 20014, 2011, 2012) are important. Research.
The present project will seek to establish a dialogue with the works on communication, city, consumption and digital world developed by the researchers of the CIEC - Interdisciplinary Coordination of Contemporary Studies -, a research group linked to this Postgraduate Program.
