It's Not Easy for Anyone": An Analysis of The Uses of Digital Media by Working and Lower Class Brazilian Women

Abstract

Analyzing the uses of digital media made by subjects presupposes considering that sociotechnical artifacts are shaped by relationships and meanings of gender, social class and sexuality. In this text, I propose to investigate, through a digital and multi-situated ethnography, how axes of differentiation modulate the uses and appropriations of digital social networks by poor women, inhabitants of the periphery of the city of Rio de Janeiro and other regions of the country.
