Aesthetic Experiences and Technology–possibilities and Potential Regarding Smartphones’ Uses and Appropriations

Abstract

This paper presents observations regarding aesthetic experiences in the Communication Studies field. Possibilities and moving processes are thought from the perspective of mobile platforms’ appropriations, smartphones’ appropriations in particular. Youngsters’ uses and appropriations are mainly observed. Based on authors such as Kerckhove (2009), Manovich (2001), Winocur (2009), among others, communicative experience is considered in a mobile and interactive sociocultural context.
