Apps e Jovens Adultos: Contributos para um Mapeamento de Práticas Mediadas (Apps and Young Adults: Contributions to a Mapping of Mediated Practices) explores theories, practices, reviews and perspectives on mobile application usage in the 18 to 30 age group. The book, structured in three sections, begins with a theoretical framework regarding digitally mediated practices in young adults. The first chapter critically assesses digital media by examining the symbolic nature of mobile apps. The examination encompasses games, dating, health and fitness, underscoring the importance of analytical commitment. The subsequent chapters address gender dynamics, examining how young adults engage with self-monitoring and health apps, exploring gender differences in technology adoption and questioning gender and sexuality constructs within media consumption habits.
The second section focuses on contemporary global trends among young adults, employing trend studies, a transdisciplinary field, to explore the digitalisation of everyday life and platforms, aiming to understand prevailing ideas encapsulated by the “zeitgeist”. Lastly, the book’s conclusion looks towards the future, offering insights into potential scenarios related to the evolution of the digital landscape. Published as part of the MyGender project and supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, this e-book aims to contribute to the field by combining theoretical depth with practical insights and future-oriented analyses.
