Abstract

Physical items are often taken for granted in mediated communication between grandparents (GP) and young grandchildren (GC). This article puts “constitutive nonhumans” at the center of inquiry to understand the potential of physical items and communication technologies to communicate over distance. The notion of phaticity operationalizes the role of constitutive nonhumans to establish and maintain contact over distance, which might have pleasurable or unpleasurable outcomes. A relational view on agency supports the entanglement of humans and nonhumans when they cooperate to communicate over distance. The article reports on a two-phase qualitative study that was conducted in two European countries with 10 GP (aged 60–75 years) and 10 GC (aged 6–11 years). The results identify how the entanglement between constitutive nonhumans conflates emotional connection and contact. Furthermore, the results suggest that the condition of familiarity can direct contact to pleasant or unpleasant outcomes that might differ across mediated and co-located communication.

祖父母和年幼的孙辈之间的远距离交流:与非人类建立联系
在祖父母(GP)和年幼的孙子(GC)之间的中介交流中,物理项目通常被认为是理所当然的。本文将“构成的非人类”置于探究的中心,以理解物理物品和通信技术在远距离通信方面的潜力。“亲密”的概念使非人类在远距离上建立和维持联系的角色得以运作,这种联系可能会产生愉快或不愉快的结果。代理的关系观点支持人类和非人类在远距离合作交流时的纠缠。本文报道了在两个欧洲国家进行的两阶段定性研究,其中10名GP(60-75岁)和10名GC(6-11岁)。研究结果确定了非人类之间的纠缠是如何将情感联系和接触混为一谈的。此外,研究结果表明,熟悉的条件可以直接接触到愉快或不愉快的结果,这可能会在中介和同地沟通中有所不同。
