BODIES IN FLUX AND CONNECTED LIFE MANAGEMENT: APPOINTMENTS ABOUT SELF CONSTITUTION FROM THE MOBILE PHONES USE PRACTICES

Abstract

This work aims to draw attention to some issues that emerge from a reflection on the use of objects extremely present in the current social life, namely the cell phones. Our aim is to describe and analyze some of the overlapping phenomena in the new possibilities of conceiving and interpreting practices and social relations and at the same time bring to light reflections on the subjects that are built in this process while connected and connection dependent subjects.The ideas presented here have an essayistic nature and are intended to account for issues such as the formation of new body mappings which does not exclude the use and coupling of the cell phone to the users’ bodies. We will seek to explain this process of dependence and subjection to the devices as a result of the spreading of subjectivity  by the flows of a connectivity chain which the cell phones and all of us, as users, belong.We expected to demonstrate how all this network does not escape the market axis and how cell phones are important elements of this process as they impact and reshape the contemporary lives management regimes, opening opportunities to think about control and subjectivity regimes that come into play.This fact highlights the need for further debate on points that are presented when the experience and fields of daily action seem entirely captured in order to involve ourselves in the capital reproduction process.
