The relationship with space in the digital era: a reinvention of the identity and the environment

Managing communication

This paper is published in the Proceeding Book “Managing communication in a disruptive era” (p. 73-86), by Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia in Jakarta on April 2017.

It discusses the socio-cultural aspects of uses of geolocation (the case of Facebook Places application), and inspects the “editorial content” of urban space through location-marking services.

Geolocation associates territories and networks, the material and the immaterial, analog and digital. Hybridization of space also requires consideration of the body, of the disembodied identity and of the inter-spatiality. But does the use of these location-based applications consist only of curiosity to know where the other is, or does it make part of the construction of identity in the digital environment? Does publicly disclosing our movements count as an act of showing off, of linking relationships, or is it simply a form of expressing the link between the spatial dimensions of the action?

By exploring and listing all existing places, the “urban explorers” discover, unmask and reveal relationships and places, sometimes hidden to the eyes of all. They move entire parts of a city from Nature to Culture.

Digital culture and social participation of persons with disabilities

How can digital culture insure the social participation of population with disabilities?

Referring to the Human Development Model- Disability Creation Process (Fougeyrollas, 2010), we believe that disability occurs in the interaction between personal and environmental factors. This process affects one’s life habits (INDCP) and subsequently their social participation.

In the digital environment, users develop new social and cultural uses. One new life habit shared by many digital users is the editorialization. According to Bruno Bachimont (2007), the concept of editorialization designates an editorial activity from the indexed fragments of a document. The aim is no longer to find a document but rather to produce new ones using new resources.

Searching for online content and combining fragments of documents to generate substance, is a new way of writing/living in the digital. We believe that a person with disability can achieve an ample part of their network social participation by developing their online presence (Merzeau, 2010) and managing new forms of digital writing.

   Le modèle du clubhouse connecté que nous proposons dans cette présentation consiste à mettre en place une éducation au numérique, une première condition pour la “participation sociale en réseau” (Saba Ayon, 2016). Conçu pour une population ayant des incapacités psychiques, le clubhouse la connecte à l’environnement numérique qui modifie instantanément l’espace urbain et les pratiques de vivre dans la ville. L’objectif est de développer une présence numérique (Merzeau, 2010) qui favorise une bonne communication et une activité collaborative et participative. Face à une traçabilité numérique exploitée par les grandes firmes pour profiler les usagers, le numérique, dans une approche culturelle (Doueihi, 2013), devrait être investi dans des projets collectifs et mémoriaux pour faire des communs de connaissance (Mulot, 2016) utiles et efficaces à la personne et à sa communauté.

Ce travail a été présenté dans le cadre du Colloque International “Pour une ville inclusive : Innovations et partenariats”, organisé par le RIPPH et le CIRRIS à l’Université Laval à Québec les 08 et 09 novembre 2016.
