Résumé:
Faced with an increasing dynamic of the advancement of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs), a contemporary culture emerges marked by unprecedented forms of
subjectivation, re-signifying the ways of relating to the other, of acting and thinking. The
present work investigated the transformations that ICTs brought to the peasant community of Chã da Barra, especially in the experience of rural youth culture, promoting the reconfiguration of social interactions and establishing a new social bond between people, that is, providing the emergence of sociability beyond the existing traditional sociability. Furthermore, the research provided an analysis of the intergenerational relations mediated by ICTs, mainly by smartphones, and to reflect on how digital culture undertakes in society involving young people, adults and the elderly, ambiguous feelings of fascination, in the hope of a better tomorrow, on the other hand, the horror caused by the unpredictability of thefuture. This qualitative study of an ethnographic character was carried out between themonths of March 2019 and February 2020 in the peasant community of Chã da Barra, located in the city of Aroeiras-PB. The investigated
population consisted of a sample of 18 interviewed participants, but not all the information
acquired was obtained in the interviews, many of these conversations arrived through informal conversations, this information allowed a multiplicity of points of view and emotional processes to emerge, by the context itself interaction created. For the theoretical contribution of the research, it is proposed to use the works of Giddens (2002) Simmel (2006), Castells (2001) and among others, which inferabout the indemnity changes resulting from contemporary forms of sociability. In general, the data from thisresearch indicates how rural youths in Chã da Barra are interested and accept all new technological trends, while previous generations use these tools for very specific purposes, such as communication. We also found that in Chã da Barra there is a close relationship between the sociability practiced online and offline, we perceive the strength
of two movements, that of modernization and tradition, providing continuities and
discontinuities, which the peasant, especially the rural youth, they receive information that
reconfigures the course of their actions in space, as well as their social interactions based on a dialogue between the knowledge that orders their social life. Finally, as a consequence of new modes of sociability on the Internet, we identified that the research subjects underwenttransformations in the social interactions they carry out within the scope of social practices that clash with a digital culture mediated by mobilityand flexibility.
