S2E7 - New Roads to Family
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we try to understand how technological entanglements have been shaping contemporary family life and question our imaginings of the “normal,” happy and child-centered family. Our two guests, Lydia Ottlewski (University of Southern Denmark) and Karin Brondino-Pompeo (Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing, São Paulo) share their research on online platforms through which users form parenting arrangements in Germany (Lydia) and through which parents produce and curate child-centered content in Brazil (Karin). We also ponder upon the role (and responsibilities) of platforms and the legal and ethical frameworks that accompany family life.
