2024 (English)In: The Digital Backlash and the Paradoxes of Disconnection / [ed] K. Albris, K. Fast, F. Karlsen, A. Kaun, S. Lomborg, & T. Syvertsen, Nordicom, University of Gothenburg , 2024, p. 235-256Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

In this chapter, I examine how digital (dis)connection intertwines with andrelates to care in the practices of parents living in Denmark. I ask the following questions: How do parents strive to care for their children with and without digital technologies? And what can feminist care perspectives do for theories of disconnection? This chapter is based on 20 in-depth interviews with parents of children aged 0–12. Parents’ experiences demonstrate how digital technologies can help create both the preconditions and the context for care. The use of technology does not come without tension, however, as parents perceive that it can also interfere with an active good life and compete for their attention. Taken together, parents’ practices and discourses of (dis)connection offer insight into the moral imperatives surrounding digital media use in the family.
